10th District Court to Become a MiFILE Court

The 10th District Court was selected by the State Court Administrative Office to become a MiFILE court. This electronic filing system means parties no longer have to physically come to the Clerk's office to file or view documents in a case. Attorneys can file for multiple cases at a time and pay online, which increases efficiencies for the Clerk's office. Also, the new system communicates directly with OnBase. The system should be fully implemented for the civil docket and for Probate Court by August 2022.
