IMPORTANT: STATE COURT E-FILING NOW INCLUDES E-SERVICE

The Florida e-filing site and e-filing emails look a little different today. That’s because STATE COURT E-FILING NOW INCORPORATES E-SERVICE. THIS MEANS THAT YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO SERVE COURT DOCUMENTS BY EMAIL (unless of course, you are dealing with a pro se party, or the document was not filed). I have confirmed this with the Miami-Dade Clerk's Office, and a Florida Bar article with more details is here.
There are several online training sessions available that I will distribute by separate email, but the process is pretty straightforward. Toward the end of the e-filing process you will see a screen similar to the screenshot below. If the email addresses in your e-filing profile are NOT the same ones you wish to use for e-service (e.g., if you have a paralegal working on a particular case that you want included), just type in the desired email addresses as indicated.
