The Case information is where you will select the location, the category and case type. Read below to learn how to fill out each field on the Case Information page. Boxes or fields outlined in RED are required. After you fill in all required fields in a section, the red boxes will disappear, and a blue Save Changes button will activate on the lower right side of that section.
- Location: The court where your case will be filed. To search for location in this section, use the scroll bar to the right of the Location box to view all selectable options within this section.
- Category: The general type of case you are filing. Some examples are Civil, Family, and Probate. After you pick a Category, you will see a list of Case Types within that Category.
- Case Type: The specific type of case you are filing. If you can't find the case type you need, change the Category (or Location) to see other available case types.
NOTE: Filer Support agents cannot advise you about what options you should select in this or any other section of your draft. We are not court employees or legal experts, so we do not have this information.
NOTE: Some courts may offer additional input fields or dropdown menus, such as Procedures/Remedies or Damage Amount (as seen below). Only fields highlighted in red are required fields; you may progress without filling them out.
Click the Save Changes button after you complete all the required fields in the section. You will then move down to the Party Information section.
