What is the timeframe for Civil II? When will we be expected to start using the new system?
Mandatory eFiling will begin on February 5, 2007, at 12:00.01 a.m., in Civil II for all parties represented by counsel in certain designated case types. From October 23, 2006, at 12:01:01 a.m., until February 4, 2007, at 11:59:00 p.m., represented parties may eFile voluntarily as set forth in the Administrative Order. This will provide a transition period to mandatory eFiling. At this time, case initiation is not available through eFiling. One must initiate a case in paper form as is currently done. Also, the original Affidavit of Service of Process must be filed in paper form. Please go to www.dccourts.gov/efiling for the governing Administrative Orders and to stay apprised of the latest developments.
