Rule 3-10 Service

(a) Electronic Service. E-filed documents may be electronically served through the Court's e-filing system. After a filing has been accepted by the Clerk, a notice of statutory electronic service will be generated by the e-filing system and sent to the individuals registered with the e-filing system to receive electronic service and the individuals selected by the filer to receive electronic service. Such notice shall constitute adequate service under the Civil Practice Act with respect to the filed document. Although permitted, service by other means authorized under the Civil Practice Act shall not be required unless the party served is a self-represented litigant who has not yet established a user account or who has been excused from using the e-filing system.

(b) Service of Non-Filed Documents. When a document must be served but not filed, the document shall be served by e-mail unless: (1) the parties have agreed to a different method of service; or (2) another manner of service is required under these rules or by Court order. Service by e-mail under this rule constitutes adequate service under the Civil Practice Act.

(c) Service on a Self-Represented Litigant. All documents filed with the Court shall be served upon a self-represented litigant by any method allowed by the Civil Practice Act unless the Court or these rules direct otherwise.
