How will the Administrative Law Judges and the Commission serve the parties?

Documents normally served by the Commission in paper copy will be made available for electronic download in the manners described below, provided that the Commission has a verified email address to use for service. In addition to collecting lead counsel’s email address, the Commission will allow parties not represented by counsel to provide an individual email address for service of public documents. If the Commission does not have a method of serving unrepresented parties electronically, the Commission and ALJs will direct Complainants to effect service for Commission documents (including filings and discovery related materials for OUII) in hard copy, when necessary.

  • Confidential documents issued by the Administrative Law Judge and the Commission will be available for download from a secure file sharing platform. Access to the system will only be provided to the individual designated as lead counsel in the firm’s Notice of Appearance. Once we process the Notice of Appearance (including your individual business email address) and Protective Order Subscription, lead counsel will receive an email requesting verification of the correct individual email address. The email will also provide additional information about the secured download process. We will not accept a group email address for purposes of providing access to the system; the email address must be the individual email address for the lead counsel. Please be on the lookout for that information and respond as quickly as possible so that we may verify we have the correct email address and can invite you to the secured folder for the investigation. Once lead counsel has access to the folder, the Case Manager will send an email each time documents are added to the folder for download.

  • Public documents issued by the Administrative Law Judge and the Commission will be available for download from EDIS. The Case Manager will use the same email addresses collected for confidential service list to give notice each time documents are added to EDIS. Unrepresented parties that have provided an individual email address will also be served in this manner.
