Introduction

Rapid Referral is the triaging of incoming subsequent pleadings to identify those motions and petitions that can move to a Judge without benefit of in-depth legal research and factual review by the Legal Branch. The Probate Division conducted a successful pilot of this process and is moving into production. Rapid Referral improves court administration by utilizing paralegal specialists where appropriate and enhances access to justice through the timely handling of subsequent pleadings.
