The Iowa court system reached a milestone this week as all 99 counties now have electronic filing. Court communications officer, Steve Davis, says it’s a monumental achievement for the courts.


Davis says a variety of people need access to court records.


The first electronic documents were filed in Plymouth County five years ago, and the system was then expanded to cover every county.

The Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) includes more than six million documents filed by nearly 88-thousand users.
