Best practices for filing a case file
Case Center functionality allows you to file a case file to an existing court case management system without upload size limits or security risks. The Case Center PDF can be shared before a virtual hearing or even within a hearing invite so everyone has a quick way to access the case file. You can only access the link if you have case access, ensuring the integrity of the case file is always maintained.
The Case Center PDF acts as a placeholder for the case file within a case management system or existing court e-filing system and as a secure link to the case file for all participants. It is important to note that users can only access the link if they have been invited into the case ensuring case access is limited to the intended users. In addition, once users have opened the case file they will only be able to access case materials that they have permission to see.
The Case Center link also eliminates problems with PDF upload size limits. This means PDFs do not need to be split and sent over multiple emails or insecure data transfer. It means you can keep an audit trail of user access while also guaranteeing all users are viewing the same files – so you won’t have to wait for parties to open the right attachment. What’s more, the cloud-based case file has purpose built tools for presenting during a hearing, so you can instantly direct everyone to a specific location of the case file at the touch of a button.
The Case Center case file is dynamic and the PDF link ensures that the case file accessed is always the most recent version. All users with case access are notified of incremental changes to the case file so late arriving documents are instantly accessible without affecting existing notes. By adopting a case file you can therefore ensure timely preparation for a virtual hearing as documents are shared at the earliest possible point, through a cloud-based, automatically indexed and paginated case file.
