E-file User Alert
Filings which include multiple lead documents per selected event are negatively affecting the court record and are making it very difficult for Judicial Officers and Court staff to quickly find and efficiently locate selected lead documents in the electronic record. Filers are being contacted in order to remedy this issue as soon as possible. The Courts cannot resolve this filing issue alone and are asking for your help to avoid delays in processing your e-filed documents. Please review and follow the proper e-filing procedure found here and contact either Court with questions. Thank you.

RCBA PSA
The Diversity Committee worked with St. Paul Neighborhood Network (SPNN) to produce a public service announcement, which will be shown on SPNN's television channels and on its blip site. The PSA features RCBA members, Michael Fondungallah, Alberto Quintela, Mike Bradley and Cassandra Fortin. Special thanks to Mike Bradley for his efforts in completing this project.
