Self-represented filers can still file on paper or JEDS." url: "https://mcc-solutionsnj.com/notary/court-filing/chancery-general-equity" --- Court filing · General Equity # Filing in Chancery, General Equity after the eCourts rule Since December 1, 2024, New Jersey attorneys must file every General Equity ("C" docket) pleading in eCourts, and the clerk rejects attorney filings sent through JEDS without refunding the fee. Self-represented litigants can still file on paper or through JEDS, so a walk-in run here is for people representing themselves.

The order (dated November 12, 2024) says "all New Jersey attorneys shall be required to file pleadings and other documents in General Equity cases in eCourts," starting December 1, 2024. The October 1, 2024 notice before it added that "self-represented litigants at present should continue to file on paper or file electronically through JEDS." So the split is simple. A law office's General Equity papers are e-filed by the office; we don't walk them in. A self-represented party's papers can go to the county window, and we take them there with the $50 Chancery motion fee (CN 11112) passed through at cost. ## Runs that still help a law office - Serving the order to show cause and complaint after the office e-files ([process serving](/notary/process-serving)) - Pulling copies from a file and scanning them back - Carrying wet-ink originals the court or the other side asks for ([legal courier](/notary/legal-courier)) Other courts: [Law Division](/notary/court-filing/law-division-civil-part) · [Special Civil Part](/notary/court-filing/special-civil-part) · [Family Division](/notary/court-filing/family-division) · [Tax Court](/notary/court-filing/tax-court) · [all court types](/notary/court-filing/new-jersey-court-types) If you represent yourself, you are responsible for your documents: what they say, that they are complete and signed, which court they go to and that they are filed on time.
