Summons Issued Electronically by the Court
As of today, attorneys no longer need to come to the courthouse with paper to have a summons issued. This notice was sent to all members of the court's bar today.
Notice From the Clerk of Court
Attorneys may request that the clerk of court issue summons in civil cases electronically. Instead of issuing a summons in paper, the clerk may issue a summons, prepared by counsel and emailed to the court in PDF. The court will then electronically sign and seal the summons, and return it, via NEF (emailed Notice of Electronic Filing) to counsel for service. More information is available on the court's website at
