Yes, batch filing is available and supported for civil case classes. For additional information, please email efilingfeedback@judicial.state.co.us.
 

3rd Party Filers and their law firms must sign a Supplemental User Agreement. 3rd Party Filers will need to scan and email the signed agreement to efilingsupport@judicial.state.co.us. A Support Team member will notify each organization when the account creation process is complete.

Yes, but each account must be tied to an organization. And as an attorney, you can have more than one account tied to your bar number and housed in different organizations. However, if you choose to maintain multiple accounts, there are several important caveats to note with cases you initiated through LexisNexis (historical cases) that were imported into the Colorado Courts E-Filing system.

The courts case management system does not tie your bar number to an organization. Therefore, when you have multiple accounts, the system will not know by default which account should be tied to which organization in your historical cases. As a result, until you file a document in these historical cases through one of your accounts, the following limitations will apply in each case:

• Staff within your organizations will not have access to the case’s suppressed and protected documents.
• Staff within your office will not have access to a suppressed case or a probate case.
• Opposing counsel will not be able to E-Serve you in the case.  

After you or your staff files into these historical cases using one of your accounts, the system will then be able to tie the historical cases to the proper organization. This will restore your staff's access to protected and suppressed documents and to suppressed cases and probate cases, as well as opposing counsel’s ability to E-Serve you. 

In addition, your email address will be your user ID. Your email address must be unique for each account. Thus, if you wish to maintain different accounts, you must use a different email address for each.

When an attorney leaves an organization, both the attorney and the organization will retain access to the case until the attorney or the organization takes one of the actions below to transfer ownership.  

The transferring attorney keeps the case: The attorney will receive a new system account in the new organization and should file a “Notice of Change of Address - Attorney” under this new account. This filing will transfer the case to the new organization.

The current organization keeps the case: The organization should file a “Substitution of Counsel”.  This filing will keep the case at the existing organization and update counsel of record.

Neither the transferring attorney nor the existing organization will continue representation: The attorney should file a “Notice of Withdrawal" or "Motion to Withdraw”. This will remove case access from the attorney and the organization.

Each year Colorado is required to create a new jury list. A list of names is created including voter records, drivers’ licenses, non-driver ids, and state income tax records. In order to be compliant with United States Postal Service standards, each summons is run through a process to check for the most recent address available and that address is placed on the summons. Summonses are processed and mailed by a vendor, not local jury commissioners.
 

Each year, the Judicial Branch receives lists of names including registered voter records, drivers’ licenses, non-driver ids, and state income tax records.
 

Since the summons process is random, there is no easy explanation to this question. Each name goes into the system with a different random number attached to it each year. In some counties with small populations, almost every qualified citizen will be called for jury service each year due to the number of jury trials requested.
 

A sentence to probation is ordered by the Court after an adult defendant pleads guilty or is found guilty of a criminal offense. A juvenile may be sentenced to probation if adjudicated a delinquent by the Court because of a criminal act. The Probation Department also supervises offenders who reach an agreement for a deferred sentence or adjudication with the District Attorney’s office.

A presentence report is a document prepared by the Probation Department about a specific defendant. The report provides the Judge with information about the offense, victim impact and the defendant to help with the sentencing decision. Presentence reports are prepared for juveniles and adults.

Adult and juvenile felony and misdemeanor offenders can be placed on probation. On rare occasions a youth adjudicated for a petty offense may be on probation. A risk assessment is conducted on each probationer to determine the level of supervision necessary to reduce the potential to re-offend. Higher risk offenders receive intensive supervision rather than regular probation. Defendants charged with drug related offenses may have their cases assigned to Adult or Juvenile Drug Court, requiring intensive supervision directed to supporting sustained sobriety.
