COURT HOUSE — The New Jersey Courts have developed an online system to facilitate the electronic submission of documents.  
According to a release, this will allow court users who previously submitted documents in person or by mail to submit them electronically through the New Courts website, https://www.njcourts.gov/selfhelp. 
Judiciary Electronic Document Submission (JEDS) system is a website that facilitates the submission of documents electronically to the New Jersey Courts. 
Users can use this system for the submission of documents related to new or existing cases. The system maintains a list of all documents submitted by the user. 
The JEDS system is intended for self-represented litigants who need to submit a document to the court. 
Attorneys may also use JEDS for anything that cannot be filed in eCourts. If you are an attorney with the ability to file in eCourts, you should continue to do so; JEDS is for individuals who do not have the ability to file through eCourts.
Using the Forms Catalog, https://www.njcourts.gov/selfhelp/catalog.html, court users can download their document(s).  Once they have completed and saved those documents, court users can then submit them using the JEDS system.  
 If you need assistance with what to submit, where to submit something new, or about a previous submission, please contact the Court User Resource Center in Atlantic and Cape May Counties by phone at (609) 402-0100, ext. 47220 or by email at AltCapeHelp.Mailbox@njcourts.gov.
