When adding a case, you are required to select the appropriate location for the case in the Case Assignment section. A judge can also be added if one is assigned.
The following options are available in the
Case Assignment section:
|
• |
Select the Manual check box to change the case number manually; however, doing this makes the Case Number field become a required field. |
|
• |
Review the court location and date the case is assigned to that court location and judge. The court location and date are
automatically entered. The date defaults to today's date, but can be backdated. |
|
• |
View the judge assigned to the case. |
|
• |
Create a notice for judicial officer. |
Your site may be configured to use the Find Family Cases feature. If it is, this
Find Family Cases link is displayed (only on family case types). Clicking this link allows you to
|
• |
Search for existing cases by two party names to see if they have existing family cases. |
|
• |
Select a case so the existing judge defaults on the new case. |
