eFiling

Beginning April 1, 2013 the Florida Supreme Court set forth that attorneys will submit all civil court documents electronically. Effective October 2013, attorneys were likewise required to file all criminal court documents in the same manner.

E-Filing means submitting court records for a filing in a case through electronic systems and processes in compliance with Florida Rules of Judicial Administration, Rule 2.525, and all other elements necessary to either establish an index of records for new cases or associate the record with an existing case in the case management system. E-filing may also be referred to using the acronym ECF (Electronic Court Filing as established by the National Center for State Courts).
