Some of you may be aware that Utah's Juvenile Court system is moving toward electronic records. The PDA recently attended a an information session held by the AOC Juvenile Court Team regarding the new e-filing process.
You will see from the infographic above that the first phase of the roll out will be mandatory by October 2015. This will mean that for cases that have already been assigned a number by the clerk's office you will be required to file all pleadings and motions electronically. The second phase will follow and will be for the creation of new cases.
One of the differences between e-filing at the District Court and e-filing at the Juvenile Court is that all filings for the Juvenile Court will be through CARE. CARE stands for the Court and Agencies Record Exchange and is a portal not only for filing and accessing electronic records but contain information on specific cases and court calendars.
For those of you unfamiliar with CARE, now is the time to request access and familiarize yourself with the system. You do not need to have any cases pending in the Juvenile Court in order to obtain a login. We encourage all parental defense attorneys to request access to CARE.
