Auto Create Case Civil
How does ACC Civil work?
See the list of civil case types available through the ACC Civil process. An ACC Civil frequently asked questions page also is available.
When an attorney efiles a new civil case of the available types for ACC Civil, it no longer will go into a queue to be processed by local clerk staff. Instead, once the attorney clicks “submit,” it will be accepted as filed automatically. This means the system will automatically create the new case, accept the petition, assign a case number, and allow the attorney to continue filing additional documents in the case. The new case also will be available to the public automatically via Case.net.
Please note attorneys no longer will be able to recall a filing – or ask local circuit court staff to “hold” it – once the system has processed the petition and created a new case.

What does this mean for court staff?
- ACC Civil will allow cases to be created automatically without court staff reviewing them prior to acceptance.
- Authorized court personnel will be able to set up preferences in the Admin tab for creating cases by court location and case type/predecessor code (a grouping or category or case types) including Judge Assignment and party match options.
- After the new cases are created, court staff will have the opportunity to review the cases in the Case Review Queue and update certain information such as accounting, parties and judge assignment among others.
