"This new electronic filing system will not only save time and resources, but it will also improve the overall experience for all those involved in the appellate process," Judge Rodriguez said.The online portal is user-friendly and allows attorneys to file documents, pay filing fees, and access case information from anywhere with an internet connection. Additionally, the system includes automatic notifications and reminders to keep parties informed of upcoming deadlines and court dates.The decision to move to electronic filing comes as part of a larger effort by the Indiana Appeals Court to modernize its practices and improve overall accessibility to the court system.

"I was able to file my documents in a matter of minutes, and the whole process was incredibly user-friendly," said attorney Sarah Jenkins. "I appreciate the court's efforts to make the appellate process more accessible and efficient."Overall, the Indiana Appeals Court hopes that the new electronic filing system will lead to a more efficient and streamlined appellate process for all parties involved.
