When an attorney or trustee files a pleading, they are prompted to indicate whether they should be linked to the party they represent. In prior releases, the checkbox for the association with the attorney and party was unchecked and if the filer did not check the box, the association was not made. The checkbox for the association with the attorney and party is checked by default. The message has been updated to reflect the implications of omitting this necessary association.

If the box is unchecked, the attorney will not get added to the case for noticing or shown in queries and not appear on or receive the Notice of Electronic Filing.
