Lex Washington DC • Official D.C. Courts EFSP & Service of Process Platform

Technology That Works with D.C. Courts

We partner with D.C. courts and judicial agencies to modernize how justice is administered. Through strict adherence to OASIS LegalXML ECF 5.0 and NIEM 4.0 standards, every submission arrives pre-validated, signed, and structured for immediate clerk docketing.

Connected eFiling integrates seamlessly with Tyler Odyssey EFM (`efiledc-stage.tylertech.cloud`) to streamline intake, review, and docketing.
Automated `CourtPolicyMDE` and `CodeService` synchronization enforces court-specific case types, filing codes, and document rules.
Real-time `FilingAssemblyMDE` SOAP callbacks provide complete audit visibility from initial submission to clerk acceptance.
D.C. Rule 5.2 redaction compliance and X.509 cryptographic non-repudiation protect sensitive judicial records.

Streamlined eFiling & Fee Waivers for District Agencies

District of Columbia agencies, prosecutors, and municipal departments rely on high-volume, zero-friction filing workflows with built-in government fee waiver accounts and automated docket tracking.

Dedicated Government Waiver Payment Account management (`POST /api/firm/payments` & `/api/firm/payments/global`).
Centralized multi-user role administration (`FirmAdmin`, `Filer`, `Attorney`) via `EFMFirmService`.
Automated case tracking and service contact lookup across all D.C. Superior Court divisions and the D.C. Court of Appeals.

File, Serve, and Track Every Case in Under 2 Minutes

Built for Washington, D.C. litigation teams, paralegals, and process servers—combining Green Filing simplicity, InfoTrack case synchronization, and ABC Legal service of process speed.

One-screen eFiling Workbench with drag-and-drop PDF Base64 encoding and instant sample pleading generation.
Complete D.C. Bar Attorney roster and global Service Contact registry management.
Live SOAP/REST transaction inspector for complete transparency on every court submission.
