CHARLESTON, W.Va. – The Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia today announced it has partnered with Tyler Technologies to release new e-filing and public access systems for the Supreme Court and Intermediate Court of Appeals that will debut later this year.
“This improved appellate-level records system is part of our Court’s continued efforts to make our judicial system as accessible as possible,” said Chief Justice William R. “Bill” Wooton. “These new systems will offer similar functionality to our current e-filing system but provide noticeable cost savings for those who use it. It will also enable us to launch an online records search portal so the public can conveniently access and view information on cases brought before the Supreme Court and Intermediate Court.”
The new system is in the final stages of development and is expected to launch in late summer.
The public access system will also allow the Court to launch a convenient online search portal for appellate case information, similar to the search systems now offered for magistrate and circuit court case information.
The Court is currently working to ensure the transition to the new e-filing system will be as seamless as possible for the state’s legal community. Tyler Technologies and Supreme Court officials will be working to provide training sessions on the new e-filing system for lawyers and their staff. Details on those training sessions will be provided in the coming months.
