MiFile for Civil cases only
MiFile is the State of Michigan's e-filing system. It is the process of filing court papers using a computer instead of handing them to a court clerk in person. If you have a civil case in our court, you must use the MiFile system for all of your filings. Please use the links below to learn more about MiFile and access the system to setup an account. For a list of exemptions from using MiFile in certain circumstances, please see MCR 1.109(G)(3)(g)-(i).
