Now available in 94 counties
FRANKFORT, Ky. (July 23, 2015) — Attorneys with court cases in 12 more Kentucky counties can now file electronically. Administrative Office of the Courts began offering electronic case filing today in Ballard, Caldwell, Calloway, Carlisle, Fulton, Graves, Hickman, Livingston, Lyon, Marshall, McCracken and Trigg counties.
eFiling is available 24/7 and attorneys with access may file a case electronically in any of the 94 Kentucky counties that offer the program. Since the start of eFiling in December 2013, more than 800 attorneys and other users have filed more than 33,000 documents electronically. Attorneys are filing case documents during normal business hours, after hours and on weekends. The AOC plans to have the program available in all 120 Kentucky counties by the end of 2015.
“eFiling is ushering in an important new era for the Kentucky justice system,” said John D. Minton Jr., Chief Justice of Kentucky. “Gone will be the days of attorneys on deadline rushing to file a motion before the courthouse closes. Now they can take care of business for their clients anywhere and anytime.”
eFiling is part of the Judicial Branch’s comprehensive, multiyear eCourt program. The goal is to update Kentucky’s aging court technology to meet the demands on the court system and enable the courts to stay current with the mainstream of law and commerce. The eCourt program will also upgrade the court system’s technology infrastructure (hardware and software), replace its case management systems for the trial and appellate courts, and acquire a document management system that will electronically store and index court documents.
AOC is the operations arm for the state court system and supports the activities of 3,300 court system employees and 403 elected justices, judges and circuit court clerks. As the fiscal agent for the state court system, the AOC executes the Judicial Branch budget.
