The 62A District Court elected to mandate all litigants to e-file civil matters. MiFILE is an e-filing initiative sponsored by the Michigan Supreme Court and the State Court Administrative Office (SCAO). This statewide e-filing system provides the ability to electronically file documents in any Michigan court, 24 hours a day, without traveling to a courthouse and waiting in line. It also allows parties to electronically serve one another with documents and electronically receive notifications and documents from the courts.
Since 2014, the Michigan Supreme Court and SCAO have been working towards the creation and implementation of a statewide e-filing solution. Michigan Court Rules have been changed to support e-filing and aid in the change from paper forms and documents to electronic documents. Standards have also been established to ensure the experience for the filer and the courts is consistent and reliable. This e-filing initiative provides a landmark opportunity to increase access to justice, allows flexibility to litigants, and enables courts to become more efficient by reducing the need to receive, process, store, and retrieve paper files.
The 62A District Court will mandate all litigants to e-file on June 1, 2026. Individuals that do not have access to a computer, scanner, and/or internet will have access to a public workstation at the court, located on the second-floor lobby.
Filers can learn more about MiFILE by reviewing these resources: Michigan Legal Help, Filer Information, or MiFILE Quick Reference Guide. In addition, there are video tutorials to help filers familiarize themselves with the e-filing process available online on the MiFILE YouTube Channel. Filers can also register for a MiFILE TrueFiling account and register for training.
