Tyler’s partnerships with Suffolk University
Law School, Illinois Legal Aid Online, and the Administrative
Office of the Illinois Courts streamline electronic filing
process
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today recent
success with the Appearance with e-filing Easy Form, aimed at
self-represented litigants filing into civil court cases in
Illinois. Through collaboration between Tyler, Suffolk University
Law School, Illinois Legal Aid Online (ILAO), and the
Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts (AOIC), the groups
have been able to streamline the process from form creation through
electronic filing for courts in nearly all Illinois counties.
Since 2021, Suffolk Law and ILAO have been building an
electronic form creation and filing solution for the Illinois
courts, saving court users time and money by reducing trips to the
courthouse and eliminating paper copies. In 2022, Suffolk Law
became certified as an electronic filing service provider (EFSP) in
Illinois. In December 2022, Illinois courts began receiving
electronic filings through the ILAO Easy Form. The Easy Form helps
self-represented litigants fill out and e-file their court forms by
asking simple questions on a computer or mobile device.
“It can be difficult for self-represented litigants to
understand the often-complex electronic filing process,” said David
Colarusso, practitioner in residence & director, Suffolk
University Law School. “Our ESFP guides self-represented litigants
by helping them fill out the appropriate forms, filing the forms
for them, and ensuring an easy process from start to finish. Our
EFSP also does not pass on additional fees to self-represented
litigants, so this helps make justice more accessible for Illinois’
residents.”
Another crucial partner to the success of the Suffolk EFSP has
been ILAO. Started in 2001, ILAO educates people without lawyers
about their legal rights and provides self-advocacy tools, support,
and connections so that they may exercise those rights. Millions of
people each year use ILAO's website to understand what forms they
need and how to go to court for small claims, divorce, eviction,
debt, and more.
“The collaboration between ILAO, Suffolk Law, AOIC, and Tyler
has the potential not only to benefit self-represented litigants as
they file into their cases, but it can benefit court staff as
well,” said Sarah Song, supervising senior program manager, AOIC.
“With the increased automation in electronic filing, courts will
receive fewer requests for assistance, and filers will feel more
confident in front of a judge knowing they have filed their court
documents accurately.”
“In order to bring access to justice to all residents, we need
to empower them with the right tools when it comes to electronic
filing,” said Brian McGrath, president of Tyler’s Courts &
Justice Division. “We’re proud to have done that through these
strong partnerships with Suffolk Law, AOIC, and ILAO.”
Tyler is working to expand its partnership with Suffolk Law in
additional states, including Texas and Massachusetts (Appeals
Court).
