Electronic Filing Tips

by Ticia Sanderson, paralegal

ICCES is now Colorado’s electronic filing source in all but a few counties and our office has learned a few things about the system that might be helpful to other users.    First , if you are filing a document that needs the Court’s immediate attention be aware that just because you received confirmation from ICCES that the document was filed does not mean the Judge can see that you filed it.  Until the clerk accepts the document, which in our experience can take several days, the document is not listed in the register of the case and therefore not viewable by the Judge.  If you need the Judge to be aware that the document has been filed immediately, you should call the Clerk and request an expedited acceptance.   Additionally, when you receive an email notification that you are being served with a document it is also not visible to you in the register of the case listed on ICCES until the Clerk has accepted it for filing.  However, we have found the documents are normally viewable from the Alerts screen.
