DSC_0084

District Court E-filing is getting upgraded with the highly anticipated File and Serve roll-out beginning in April. The roll-out is scheduled to be completed by the end of May. The goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible. Once File and Serve is activated, the former system will continue to be available for approximately 30 days.

Further updates will be communicated as they develop. The court will hold training sessions at the Regional Justice Center and the Family Court campus. Law firms or those who are unable to make one of the sessions can make arrangements for one-on-one training. Details on how to request this training will be announced prior to April 17. A training video is also available at https://tylertech.egain.cloud/kb/nvh5/list/242400000011494

Free webinars are also available. Visit the link to sign up for the webinars – https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/rt/6244957033569706242 Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Credits – Sign up for one of the webinars using the link above and you will receive Continuing Legal Education CLE credit.

Meanwhile, users can self-register for File and Serve so that you are ready to start filing on April 17 by going to https://nevada.tylerhost.net/OfsWeb/

There are many advantages to File and Serve including: the Envelope Feature which enables the filer to bundle multiple filings (all must be same case number) into one envelope for just one $3.50 flat-fee. Filers can submit an Answer, Initial Appearance Fee Disclosure (IAFD) and Demand for Jury Trial in one envelope for a total of $3.50 thereby saving $7.00 on the cost of two documents (if filed separately).

The Issuing Summons feature enables the clerk to electronically issue Summons’ through the new site. Simply submit the Summons at the same time you submit the Complaint (using the envelope feature) and once the Clerk processes the Complaint and assigns a case number, the Summons can be issued. The Summons and Complaint will be returned to the filer ready to be served. These new features will cut steps and save the time previously required to present the Summons’ to the Clerk’s office for issuance after the case had been initiated and a case number assigned through electronic filing.

Defaults and Writs of Execution can also be submitted electronically for review and issuance saving a trip to the Clerk’s office.

Template Functionality enables users to easily set up reusable templates for common new case initiation as well as subsequent filings. This feature can be used to save time and ensure accurate filings.

The E-Check Feature enables payment with checking account information for only $1 per filing/envelope.

Important  Dates: April 17 File and Serve will be available for new filings.

May 15 The legacy E-Filing system will be turned to read only and all new filings must be done by File and Serve.

December 1, 2015 Electronic Filing and Public Access to get upgrades early next year

E-filing

E-filing has made a lot of practices easier and more efficient in the District Court. Processes are about to improve even more with some highly anticipated upgrades coming early next year.

Some of the new features that will translate into savings for our e-filers include:

  • An envelope feature that offers the ability to bundle multiple filings of the same case together for one transaction fee.
  • The ability for the Clerks’ Office to issue Summons, Defaults and Writs electronically.

Beta testing of the upgrades will be underway for the next few months, to ensure that the new upgrades are ready for prime-time. Attorneys who are interested in participating in the beta-testing should email wendelb@clarkcountycourts.us.

Public Access

Also early next year, District Court will take over the responsibility for the overall administration of Public Access through a new portal with access to all case types. This decision creates an opportunity for the court to evaluate costs associated with accounts and possibly further reduce those costs. Presently, costs are being assessed on a month-by-month basis. That is likely to change to a flat yearly fee that will save users money. Cost reduction is definitely good news. There are other benefits that those who use DAP and Attorney Corner can look forward to including:

  • Merging of all access of all case types into one site/one account
  • Mobile/tablet friendly
  • Improved search functionality

The transition to an electronic court has been a process that continues to evolve and improve. The District Court is committed to improving efficiencies to make it easier and more cost effective to do business with the court. As District Court gets further along in the process, we’ll keep you posted.
