What should an attorney or court user do if the document he or she is filing is not listed in the picklist?
If a user wishes to file a document that is not listed in the picklist, he or she should contact the person maintaining the dictionary and requests that an event be added. Each court maintains its own event dictionary. Typically there is one person at the court with primary responsibility for dictionary maintenance with one or more employees acting as back-up. The request is reviewed and, if approved, the dictionary is updated. The update can be accomplished within a few minutes. On occasion, an attorney may need to file a non-listed document after regular business hours, when the person maintaining the dictionary is not available. The prototype courts have created some general events and included free text boxes to accommodate this. For example, the courts have created specific events relating to a request for extension of time to complete an activity, such as, “Motion for extension of time to complete discovery” and “Motion for extension of time to file brief on the merits.” In addit
