Kings Supreme Court, Criminal Term, Announces NYSCEF Voluntary E-Filing Pilot Program

Kings County Supreme Court, Criminal Term has been selected to be the first court of criminal jurisdiction in New York State to introduce E-filing (NYSCEF). A voluntary pilot program for Criminal Term E-filing will commence on Monday, September 8th, 2025.  

This pilot program allows attorneys to opt into e-filing, providing flexibility during this initial phase. While participation is not mandatory, the program aims to demonstrate the benefits of e-filing and encourage widespread adoption.

The future site where attorneys would log on and file documents is linked here: NYSCEF Home. Attorneys admitted to the New York State Bar can access the NYSCEF site by logging on with their registration credentials, agreeing to the posted terms, and establishing an account.

If there are any further questions about this program, please contact Brian McAllister, Chief Clerk for Criminal Matters, at Kings County Supreme Court, Criminal Term, at bmcallis@nycourts.gov or via phone at (347) 296-1100.

  • Multiple attorneys working on a case can view the file simultaneously and from different locations.
  • Round the clock access to case files allows for more effective time management and responsiveness to clients’ needs.
  • Document storage is simplified and expenses reduced. Filing fees can be paid on-line with a credit or bank card.
  • E-filed documents are electronically served on all participating parties, thereby reducing service expenses.
  • The system provides immediate e-mail notification of all filings, including court orders, judgments, and decisions, which are available on-line.
  • The docket is clear and easy to work with. The system is easy to learn and simple to use.
  • In the proper case, the system can safeguard confidential personal information by restricting online access to counsel of record and unrepresented parties in the case.
  • There is no charge to use the system – whether for filing documents, accessing the e-docket, serving documents through NYSCEF, or printing documents from it.
