We are excited to announce that 41B District Court will be going live with MiFILE on January 11, 2023. As a reminder, all attorneys submitting civil filings with the court will be required to e-file as
required by Michigan Court Rule 1.109(G)(3)(f). Self-represented parties may also participate in the efiling program. As such, on January 11, 2023 attorneys will be required to e-file all civil court documents via MiFILE (https://mifile.courts.michigan.gov/login).

STEP 1: READ THE RESOURCES
There are multiple online resources that you can read to prepare yourself and your staff for MiFILE. Below are some helpful links that will take you to these resources:

To help you navigate MiFILE, read the MiFILE Quick Reference Guide (https://www.courts.michigan.gov/.../mifile-quick...) and watch the MiFILE Tutorials (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXQq7tVeeswxQGQUAZiC6Rw).

STEP 2: BE PREPARED TO E-FILE WHEN MIFILE GOES LIVE
Take a look at your active cases, and be prepared to e-file your court documents starting tomorrow.

STEP 3: PREPARE YOUR STAFF (ATTORNEYS ONLY)
The way legal support staff assist with cases will be impacted once MiFILE goes live. There is functionality within MiFILE that allows users to build a network of firm attorneys and firm members. This functionality is called connections. Only an attorney may initiate a connection request with another user, but any user can receive a connection request from an attorney. We recommend attorneys not send Connection Requests to clients as they would have access to your payment information through this feature. When a connection request is accepted, both connected users can file on one another's behalf, share payment information, and access one another's filing histories.

STEP 5: VERIFY YOUR SECONDARY MIFILE EMAIL ON RECORD WITH THE STATE BAR OF MICHIGAN
The transition to MiFILE requires the service recipient list for each case in MiFILE to be populated one time from the party and attorney information maintained in the court's case management system; in some instances, the attorney email addresses in the case management system will have originated from a file maintained by the State Bar.
