Overview of Electronic Services for Attorneys’
Designated Filers
Attorneys registered with the Statewide
Grievance Committee and law firms which have
obtained a law firm juris number may designate
authorized individuals to file case initiation
documents on their behalf. A designated filer
will have a UserID and a password for use in
accessing E-Services to maintain the designated
filer’s account and to file case initiation
documents electronically in the Superior Court
on behalf of the attorney or law firm. Any
electronic transactions conducted by a
designated filer will be presumed to have been
authorized by the attorney and/or law firm whose
juris number was used by the designated filer to
conduct the electronic transaction.
Electronic Services Designated Filer Application
Process
A new designated filer may be authorized by the
creation of a new designated filer account or a
designated filer may be authorized from the list
of existing designated filers whose accounts
have been already created by other attorneys or
law firms. If the designated filer already
exists in the system, the attorney/law firm will
add the designated filer as an authorized
designee.
-
Designating someone who has not been
previously designated:
-
To designate someone who has not been
previously designated, the attorney or
law firm must create an account for the
person;
-
The attorney/law firm must enter data,
including the name, address and phone
number of the person to be designated.
-
Upon submission of the designated filer
application, a confirmation will be
displayed on the screen indicating that
the designated filer has been authorized
to file on behalf of the attorney/law
firm and a system-generated password and
UserID for the filer will be displayed.
This system-generated password and
UserID should be provided to the
designated filer.

The new designated filer must log in and
complete/update the information to
activate the designated filer’s account.
At the first login, the new designated
filer will be required to change the
system-generated password.

password must have:
·
8-10 characters (A-Z);

With at least one number (0-9); but
·
No special characters (@, #, &) may be used.

already been created by another attorney
or law firm, the attorney or law firm
must add a designated filer from a list
of existing designated filers.
