Integrations
Connecting court e-filing to your app without surprises
July 2, 2026 · 7 min read
State portals, rejection handling and cover-sheet logic: the integration patterns that stay reliable in the field.
The portal is not the hard part
Filing once takes a sprint. Keeping a year of filings flowing from an attorney's phone, through a court portal that changes rules per jurisdiction, into a matter record the firm trusts — that is the engineering.
Patterns that hold
Every e-filing build we ship uses the same skeleton.
- Local buffering with signed timestamps, so a phone offline for three days loses nothing
- One canonical filing model, with court quirks normalized at the edge
- Explicit rejection handling and refile rather than silently failing a submission
- A filing health screen attorneys can self-serve before they call support
Regulatory footing
Know early which jurisdictions your app files into. E-filing rules, cover sheets and redaction requirements vary by court and shape the roadmap more than any technology choice.
