Adding new cases to the legal portal

We intend to enter every single new case into the legal portal.

  • If in-house counsel is bringing the case, in-house counsel uploads the complaint to the legal portal. In-house counsel also communicates the relevant information, using this form, to Susan Cover and CCs Communications Director. In-house counsel writes the two-paragraph summary for each case.
  • If outside counsel is bringing the case, the program director uploads the complaint for the legal portal and sends all relevant information, using this form, to Susan Cover and CCs Communications Director. Program directors write the two-paragraph summary.
Updating existing cases in the legal portal
  • To update a case in the legal portal, simply email Susan Cover with your requested update and CC Communications Director.
  • Staff attorneys will update cases in the legal portal for their own cases
  • For cases brought by outside counsel, program directors are responsible for keeping cases in the portal up-to-date.
    • When in-house counsel does the docket update for the board, the legal team can check and make sure the cases by outside counsel are up-to-date.
