You must use your CourtNet username and password on your work computer or work-issued laptop to file online. CourtNet is the name of the Unified Court System's computer network and data centers. Your work computer/ or work-issued laptop must be connected to CourtNet through the court's VPN connection (either SSLVPN or Pulse VPN) and it must have the current version of FileMaker. You cannot file online using the Internet. If you need assistance accessing these, please contact your local IT staff for assistance.

Filing electronically will ensure the security and confidentiality of the information reported in your statement, because it will not have to be mailed. CourtNet uses a private wide area network protected by sophisticated firewalls, intrusion detection devices and anti-virus software to protect your financial disclosure statements. In addition, once you file electronically once, filing in subsequent years becomes easier, since you have the option of copying previous reporting year information, to save or to amend, without repeating the same information each year.

The Ethics Commission amended the filing requirement to streamline the filing process and make it more efficient and convenient for filers. It will also enhance the Commission's distribution, collection, review, and maintenance of financial disclosure statements.
