WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – The Sedgwick County District Court Clerk’s Office will be open from 8 a.m. to noon Monday, Feb. 12 through Friday, Feb. 16 and closed from noon to 5 p.m. to address a backlog of paper documents filed after Oct. 12. It may be extended if needed to address the backlog.
The court had been operating on paper since an Oct. 12 cyber-attack incapacitated several court information systems. Included was the Kansas eCourt case management system district courts use to process cases.
The court clerk’s office will use afternoon hours to enter paper documents in the case management system.
Filing documents Feb. 12 – Feb. 16
If a party has a document to file in a case, they are encouraged to eFile the document or, if not approved for e-filing, deliver it to the clerk’s office between 8 a.m. and noon. If a party can’t make it to the courthouse during morning hours, they can file the document by fax or leave it in the court drop box. If time allows, documents can also be sent by mail.
