Setting Up E-Mail Notification

Users can receive e-mail notification of all electronic filings in cases they are interested in by setting the automatic e-mail notification in their user accounts.

Access the "Live" system. (Please note that the "Live" electronic filing system and the "Training Area" are different systems. Setting your e-mail notification in one system does not set it in the other.)

  • Click on "Utilities"
  • Click on "Maintain Your Account"
  • Click on "Email Information"
  • Enter your correct email address in the “P rimary e-mail address” box. You may include more than one
       e-mail address (i.e. work, home).
  • Under “Send the notices specified below”, there will be a check box next to “to my primary e-mail address.”  Click on
           the box “to these additional addresses” to identify any additional email addresses of others you would like to
       receive electronic notice (i.e. an associate, para-legal, secretary).
  • You will find a check mark box next to “Send notices in cases in which I am involved”. Click on the box “Send notices in
       these additional cases    ” to receive notification of activity for other cases. In the box to the right, enter the
       case numbers each on a separate line.  Please use the format YY-#### (ex. 97-1234). You do not have to be
       a  party in the cases entered.
  • Select the type of notice you would like to receive. Notice “Send a notice for each filing” is automatically
       selected.  This selection sends notices to you immediately upon filing. Click on “Send a Daily Summary
       Report    ” to have a summary of the notices sent to you at the end of the day (usually at midnight). If you seek
       electronic notice in only a handful of cases, this selection is the preferred method.
  • Under Format notices, select the format of the notice most appropriate to your e-mail system.  Select “html
       format for Netscape or ISP e-mail service” or “text format for cc:Mail, GroupWise, other e-mail service    .”
       Some experimentation may be required.
  • Click on “Return to Account Screen.” From the Account Screen, select “Submit.” You will receive a
       confirmation screen listing the cases and e-mail options you have selected.
