Signing In
Cott E-Filing has two separate login pages depending on your role. Make sure you are using the correct one.
Filer Login
URL: /login
If you are an attorney, pro se litigant, organization administrator, or government filer, use the main login page. You can sign in with:
Google — Click the Google button to sign in with your Google account.
Microsoft — Click the Microsoft button to sign in with your Microsoft or Outlook account.
Email and password — Enter the email and password you used when creating your account.
After signing in, you will land on your filer dashboard, where you can start new filings, check the status of existing ones, and view notifications.
Staff Login
URL: /staff/login
If you are a court clerk, judge, judicial staff member, or court administrator, use the staff login page. Staff login supports email and password only — social login (Google, Microsoft) is not available for staff accounts.
After signing in, you will land on your role-specific home page:
Clerks — Filing review queue
Judges — Judicial inbox
Court administrators — Court management panel
Forgot Your Password?
If you cannot remember your password:
Go to your login page (
/loginfor filers or/staff/loginfor staff).Click the Forgot password link.
Enter the email address associated with your account.
Check your email for a password reset link and follow the instructions.
If you do not receive the reset email within a few minutes, check your spam folder. If you still need help, contact your court administrator (for staff) or the Cott E-Filing support team (for filers).
Session and Security
Your session will remain active as long as you are using the platform. After a period of inactivity, you will be signed out automatically and will need to log in again.
For security, always sign out when you are finished, especially on shared or public computers.
If you suspect someone has accessed your account without authorization, reset your password immediately and contact support.
