(2) A non-registered pro se party must file documents conventionally. (3) Juvenile criminal matters must be filed conventionally and under seal unless, after hearing, the Court orders the juvenile to be tried as an adult. (4) Any judge of this Court may deviate from the electronic filing procedures in specific cases, if deemed appropriate in the exercise of discretion, considering the need for the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of matters pending before the Court.
