KB article ID: 2000 (permalink) Note: There is a video into the GAL Software folder on your Imaging
drive which covers this topic- the ways you can email parties from the Case Viewer,
including the option to email a document to people on the case. If
your PC doesn't have a default application which plays videos,
you can either ask your IT to install one or download a program called VLC Media Player. Instructions for doing this can be found here. Last modified: 6/9/2020 When counties first started to email attorneys, we advised clerks to have attorneys sign something that indicates that they are okay receiving notifications via email. Once the clerk had their okay, they could then go into the Attorney Address screen and set the Electronic Service option to Notices. I recently asked Cindy Braden if clerks still have to get the attorney's okay in order to start emailing them notices and the answer was an unequivocal NO. SCR 11 was rewritten to say that when it comes to attorneys, they no longer have a choice over how they get notifications. Email is the way to go: Rule 11. Manner of Serving Documents Other Than Process and Complaint on Parties Not in Default in the Trial and Reviewing Courts (a) On Whom Made. If a party is represented by an attorney of record, service shall be made upon the attorney. Otherwise service shall be made upon the party. (b) E-mail Address. An attorney must, and a self-represented party may, include on the appearance and on all pleadings filed in court an e-mail address to which documents and notices will be served in conformance with Rule 131(d). If a self-represented party so opts, or
if service other than electronic service is specified by rule or order
of court, or if extraordinary circumstances prevent timely electronic
service in a particular instance, service of documents may be made by (1) Personal Service. Delivering (2) Delivery to Attorney’s Office or (3) United States Mail. Depositing (4) Third-Party Commercial Carrier. Delivery of the document through SO... If any of you would like me to run an sql that sets the Electronic Service field to "Notices" for all of your attorneys for whom you have an email address, let me know. What that will mean is that when you do a notice from either the Hearing screen or the Record Sheet program, or the Update Docketed Cases program, those notices will be emailed to your attorneys who have email addresses. And all of this is based on the assumption that you are set up to do email. If you haven't used any of our email features yet, you'll need to set up your email configuration screen first. If you need assistance getting set up to START emailing, give me a call. Also, if your office uses web-mail, like gmail, your pc might not open the web-client that you need in order to send an interactive email. It can be set up, but it takes more steps. If you have an IT person I would suggest that you have them set you up. If you don't and you're trying to do it yourself, here is a link that might be useful. https://www.process.st/default-mail-client/ I've never done this myself, but if you're desperate, and you want someone to fumble through the process WITH you, feel free to let me know. I can certainly take a stab at it. ;) |
