NOTICE: E-Filing Portal Notice of Electronic Filing (NEF) Feature
One of the most requested records of the Portal is the email sent to case parties noticing them of a document filed in a case to which they are a party, the “Notice of Electronic Filing” (NEF). A web page was created so the NEF can be viewed without signing in to the Portal. Please see the attached advisory for details.

changes will not be made to the Portal to eliminate problems caused by Internet Explorer
versions that are no longer supported.
