Notes:
  • A Lead Attorney can only be added when submitting an eFiling to the court. You cannot add or update Lead Attorney information independently within the eFile site. 
  • The ability to assign multiple Lead Attorneys depends on the court. Some courts allow multiple Lead Attorneys for a party, while others permit only one. 
  • After a Lead Attorney has been successfully associated with a party, Filer Support cannot modify or remove that information.
     
    You can only select attorneys from your own firm. Opposing counsel or co-counsel representing other parties will not be available for selection.
