Judicial Branch Expands ShareFile Pilot Program to Aroostook, Hancock, and Washington County Courts
The Maine Supreme Judicial Court revised AO JB-21-06 to allow for the expansion to all courts in Aroostook, Hancock, and Washington Counties. Prosecuting and defense attorneys will be able to use the ShareFile platform as an online sharing tool and to submit filings in criminal, civil violation, and juvenile cases starting April 19, 2022. Filings will also continue to be accepted in person and by mail.
The Order states that after a reasonable period of use in Regions 7 and 8, the program will be evaluated for further expansion into other areas of the state.
The revised AO (issued April 1, 2022) can be found here:
