Frequently Asked Questions

 

1. Q: What is the purpose of CourtEasy?

A: CourtEasy promotes courtesy and cooperation between litigants.

CourtEasy allows litigants to work together, cooperatively to resolve or narrow issues of dispute before going to Court or avoid going to Court altogether. Since communications are registered, dated and timed on a Case Detail Log, Clients, Judges or any member of the General Public can easily monitor litigant communications to assure that good faith efforts toward resolution are being followed.

Also, CourtEasy provides an easy, online tool to schedule mutually convenient witness depositions, avoiding time-consuming phone calls and the endless game of “phone tag.”

2. Q:How much does CourtEasy cost litigants or their attorneys?

A: Each party is charged a one-time, $20 fee through PayPal. Once the fee is paid, each party has unlimited use of CourtEasy's services and website for the entire duration of that case .

3. Q: What are the advantages to using CourtEasy in our Jurisdiction?

A: In many Jurisdictions, litigants are required to participate in meaningful verifiable dialogue with each other to comply with Court mandated rules of Good Faith Communications prior to noticing a Hearing on any Motion. Additionally, litigants are required to cooperate in other matters, such a scheduling witness depositions.

CourtEasy's proprietary and (patent pending) software documents and records on an unalterable time and date stamped database those communications thereby encouraging earnest efforts to resolve issues online rather than going to Court .

If a hearing becomes necessary, the Judge can effortlessly access CourtEasy's website, in real time, and view all communications between counsel and/or Pro Se litigants appearing before the Bench regarding the issues raised in the Motion or the Deposition schedule before it to assure that the parties have complied with Court mandated cooperation requirements.

Additionally, Clients can access communications between the Attorneys to monitor the progress of their case and assure themselves that needless expense and delay is not being incurred as a result of the lack of cooperation among them.

4. Q: Can a Client or Judge having jurisdiction over the case access the communications between the Attorneys?

A: The Client, Judge or anyone can view the Case Detail Log database directly by accessing the CourtEasy website to see what the Attorneys have done to narrow the issues prior to noticing a hearing on the disputed matter . If the Court feels more work is needed, it can refuse to grant a Hearing on the disputed issue until the Court is satisfied that the parties have fully complied with CourtEasy’s process. Information from the database can also be downloaded and printed.

5. Q: Does CourtEasy provide other useful applications for Attorneys and the Court System?

A: CourtEasy also provides a Deposition scheduling module. Attorneys propose Depositions and availability dates online. An e-mail is then generated to which the opposition replies thus paring down the tedious process secretarial “ping-pong” and reducing disagreements over discovery scheduling that often result in court proceeding.

6. Q: How does CourtEasy assist attorneys or litigants in complying with administrated Orders that require them to narrow issues raised in a Motion prior to noticing it for a hearing?

A: After filing a Motion but prior to noticing it for Hearing an Attorney or Pro Se litigant completes an online form on CourtEasy which identifies the Motion that has been filed. Our proprietary software allows the individual making a Cooperation Request to propose solutions to the issues raised in the Motion and inviting, via an email generated by CourtEasy, his opponent's response, thereby facilitating communication and fostering dialogue between opponents.

7: Q: How does the CourtEasy Process work?

Once the online form is completed and the individual hits the "SEND" button, Courteasy generates an e-mail to opposing counsel or, if unrepresented, to a pro se litigant inviting him or her to a response page on the web site. There, the respondent(s) replies to the request .

if the issues raised in the motion are resolved a certificate is issued thru CourtEasy certifying that an agreement has been reached and that an Agreed Order can be forwarded to the Judge having jurisdiction over the case. Conversely, if no agreement is made, any party's legal representative or, if unrepresented, any pro se litigant may then notice the Motion for hearing .

Similarly, If an attorney or pro se litigant wants to schedule the Deposition of a party or witness the request is made to the opposing party thru CourtEasy's Deposition Scheduling Module. Once the proposed deponent has been identified and the date; time and place offered for the taking of his or her deposition is acceptable to each party's legal representative or pro se litigant involved in the case, then a certificate of agreement is issued thru CourtEasy thereby avoiding confusion and feigned ignorance at a later date.

However, CourtEasy may not be used for any illegal or tortious conduct as outlined in the Terms of Use.

9. Q: How does an Attorney get notified that opposing Counsel wishes to communicate about filing a Motion or scheduling a Deposition?

A: Each time a form is filled out through CourtEasy, an email is generated to the opponent inviting their response.
