Printing
Court clerks frequently need printed copies of filed documents for physical case files, judge chambers, or in-court proceedings.
Printing Filed Documents
To print a document from the review screen:
Open the filing from the queue.
Select the document tab you want to print.
The PDF viewer renders the document in your browser. Use your browser's print function (Ctrl + P or Cmd + P) to print.
For the best print quality, use the browser's "Save as PDF" option first if you need to adjust margins or scaling, then print the saved file.
Printing Stamped Documents
After a filing is accepted, stamped versions of accepted documents are generated automatically. To print the stamped copy:
Open the accepted filing from the queue or case view.
The document viewer shows the stamped version (with the court stamp visible on the first page or all pages, depending on the stamp setting used during acceptance).
Print using your browser's print function.
Bench Books
A bench book is an assembled PDF package for a judge, containing a cover page, table of contents, and selected case documents. To create and print a bench book:
Navigate to the case view for the relevant case.
Open the Documents tab.
Click Bench Book.
Select which documents to include.
Generate the bench book. The system assembles the PDF.
Download and print the assembled document.
Printing Tips
Scale to fit -- Court stamps are positioned relative to the page. If you scale the print, the stamp scales with it.
Color vs. grayscale -- Court stamps include the court name, date, and recording number. Print in color if your court requires color stamps on official copies.
Duplex printing -- For multi-page documents, enable double-sided printing to reduce paper use.
Multiple copies -- Set the copy count in your browser's print dialog rather than printing the same document multiple times.
