Overview — Your Inbox

When you sign in, the judge portal opens to your Inbox -- the central place where you receive and manage filings that need your attention.

How Filings Reach You

Clerks route filings to you after their initial review. When a clerk sends a filing your way, it appears in your inbox automatically. The clerk may attach a routing note with context or instructions for you.

Your Inbox

The inbox has two tabs:

• Inbox -- filings waiting for your review and signature. These have the status "With Judge."

• Signed -- filings you have already signed. This tab serves as your history.

Each tab shows a count badge so you can see at a glance how many items are pending and how many you have completed.

At the top of the page, you will see a welcome message with your name and your court name, along with summary cards showing your inbox count and signed count.

What You See for Each Filing

Every row in the inbox table displays:

• Case -- the case title (e.g., "Smith v. Jones") and case number

• Type -- the lead document type (e.g., Order, Motion)

• Filed By -- the name of the filer (attorney or party)

• Docs -- the number of documents in the filing

• Age -- how long ago the filing arrived

• Routing note indicator -- a small message icon appears next to the case name if the clerk included a note

In the Signed tab, the "Age" column is replaced by Signed -- showing how long ago you signed the filing.

Search and Filter

You can narrow down filings using the tools in the toolbar:

• Search -- type a case title, case number, or filing number to find a specific item

• Filter -- open the filter panel to narrow by document type or filer name

Active filters appear as removable pills below the toolbar. Use "Clear all" in the filter panel to reset.

Sorting

In the Inbox tab, you can sort by:

• Case -- alphabetical by case title

• Age -- newest or oldest first (default: newest first)

Click the column header to toggle sort direction.

Opening a Filing

Click the View button on any row to open the filing in the review screen, where you can read the documents, edit text if needed, and sign or return the filing.

Filings only appear in your inbox if a clerk has routed them to you. If you expect a filing and do not see it, contact your clerk's office.
