Demystifying E-Working Copies

Rick — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:15:48 +0000

When I attended the King County Superior Court Clerk’s office most recent CLE workshop, one of the presenters devoted a good deal of time to an explanation of the “working copies” component of the new e-filing system. This was good because many of the attendees seemed confused by it. If you find yourself in the same boat, here are a couple of specific links to useful information about this:

E-Working Copies Active Demonstration – this link leads to an automated demostration showing how to use the E-Working Copies portion of the e-filing system. The advantages of the process are clearly spelled out in the very beginning and since you can start and stop the demonstration yourself, you can review it at your own pace.

E-Working Copies Help – this link leads to the portion of the e-filing web site that describes how the E-Working Copies process works. It includes a link to the demonstration mentioned above as well as a detailed FAQ document and an instructional document with screenshots from a simulated E-Working Copies process.

Check E-filing FAQ Site for Helpful Hints

If you’re like many of us and still learning how to use King County’s new mandatory e-filing process, don’t forget to check the helpful FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) they’ve posted on the E-Filing News and Information page. Locate the Helpful Resources portion of the page and follow the link called Frequently Asked Questions about Mandatory E-Filing. The document includes sections for general, process and technical questions and was last updated on 9/1/2009.

October Classes Added

Kim — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:57:11 +0000

A reminder – we have added two classes for October. Look at the full training calendar here. We will be repeating our popular Public Sleuthing on Social Networks class on October 7 – it will be the last time the class is taught by Rita K. before she moves out-of-state in October. We are also offering the two-part Legal Research for the Non-Attorney class later in the month. These classes are free to the public and held in the Legal Research and Training Center inside the Seattle Library. Call the library at 206-296-0940 to sign up.

E-filing Support at KCLL

Rick — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 18:16:51 +0000

KCLL can help you make the transition to e-filing! If you have an existing word processing document or have created a new one while using one of our public PCs, you can save that document in .pdf format—-the electronic format you need to use for e-filing—-simply by printing it to the CutePDF printer. If you have existing paper documents, we can convert them to .pdf format with one of our staff scanners. In either case, you will also need a USB drive on which to store these new .pdf files. The costs associated with these services are as follows:

To convert a paper document to .pdf format: $2.00 per document up to 50 pages

To purchase a new USB drive: $10.00

If you have any questions about our support for e-filing, please contact the Library staff at (206) 296-0940.
