When filers enter Case Information for a some new cases (particularly in the Appellate Courts), they may have to enter a Lower Court Case Number, a Lower Court Name, a Lower Court Case Judge, and a Lower Court Case Description after they save the initial Location Category, and Case Style.
Sometimes, after a filer enters the required Lower Court Case Number and Lower Court Name, then click the Save Changes button, they get an "Internal Server Error" message from the system.
This is caused by a filer entering hyphens, spaces, or other special characters into the Lower Court Case Number input field. If a filer enters the case number as just letters and numbers with no hyphens, spaces, or special characters, the error will go away and the filer will be able to save their Case Information and proceed further.
