Personal Attorney Service Launches Electronic Filing in California Superior Courts

23 May 2006

Premiere Legal Support Services provider Personal Attorney Service in cooperation with Lawdex Corporation announced today their successful live electronic filing into Sacramento County's Superior Court. Sacramento represents the first court in the state, through its Unlawful Detainer Unit, to initiate open-access electronic filing available to all filers on the web.

The California Administrative Office of the Courts has initiated e-filing in Sacramento as part of a wider effort to electronically integrate court record systems for every jurisdiction in the state. State developers and proponents expect this effort to near completion within five years. In addition to its e-file provisions, the project will allow all of the state's courts to share case management records electronically.

Today's filing represents Personal Attorney Service's and Lawdex's continued expansion in the California state market. Last fall, Lawdex signed an extended agreement to provide e-filing services for the state's largest attorney services association, The California Association of Photocopiers and Process Servers (CAPPS). Through its members, the CAPPS organization files and serves summons and complaints for an estimated 90% of California's law firms.

Lawdex is one of a handful of electronic filing service providers nationally providing e-filing for state courts. Since its initial launch at the National Center for State Courts conference in December 2004, Lawdex has worked closely with Personal Attorney Service and other attorney service firms and the courts to provide advanced document routing services with its software development partner, Nsite Corp.
