Proxying
Whether filing electronically or on paper, the authority to file on a case is limited largely to the attorneys representing the case participants. After documents are prepared, however, the business practice of many law firms and government offices is to use support staff to complete the physical act of filing the paperwork with the court (i.e. via U.S. Mail, a Commercial Carrier, or in person). The court recognizes the use of this practice in the paper world and offers a similar alternative for filers in the electronic world. The PACFile system provides any person, known as a proxy, the ability to file documents electronically on behalf of another individual who has the authority to submit a filing.
In order to create a proxy relationship between two individuals, both the granting authority and the prospective proxy must have an account on the UJS Web Portal. Once rights have been granted, the proxy can perform any of the actions assigned by the granting authority. Granting authorities can delegate proxy rights to multiple individuals and any individual has the ability to proxy for multiple granting authorities.
With some start-up help from the AOPC, individuals can also be designated as a proxy for their organization (ex. state agency, district attorney, or juvenile probation) and file on its behalf.
