NOTICE—ADR Lexis E-Filings

Arbitrators, mediators, and neutral assessors should remember to select the check-box on the Review & Submit tab stating that they are "sending these documents as 'Court-Appointed Counsel/ADR'" when they e-file.

This waives the LexisNexis File & Serve™ fees. Please choose the correct ADR document type so that you are not charged the court's statutory fees. You may contact Sheila Karns-Gierek or customer support 1.888.529.7587. (Launch Screen Shot.)

The Superior Court has statewide original jurisdiction over criminal and civil cases, except for equity cases and domestic relations matters.

The Court has exclusive jurisdiction over felonies and drug offenses (except most felonies and drug offenses involving minors, and except possession of marijuana cases).

The Court serves as an intermediate appellate court, hearing appeals on the record from the Court of Common Pleas, Family Court (adult criminal), and more than 50 administrative agencies.

The Superior Court which celebrated its 175th Anniversary in 2007 has courthouses located in three counties—New Castle, Kent and Sussex.

The
New Castle County Courthouse is located in Wilmington, where the court is housed in a modern recently built courthouse. Both the Kent County Courthouse, located in our capital, Dover, and the Sussex County Courthouse, located in Georgetown, are historic buildings.

Each courthouse employs state-of-the-art courtroom technologies, including eFiling and docketing, digital audio recording, Realtime transcription, wireless access, electronic evidence presentation systems as well as an integrated statewide case management system with an automated sentencing order program and our drug court information system
