Currently, only lawyers are permitted to file documents electronically. However, pro se litigants (people without lawyers) may sign up to receive documents electronically. If you sign up you will receive notification by e-mail when a document is filed in your case. Before requesting a login and password, please review our Frequently Asked Questions [1].
