It is not secure or confidential, is not monitored for emergencies, and is not a method for filing a document, serving legal process, reporting a crime, entering an appearance, or changing a court date or deadline. Do not email Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver's-license numbers, medical records, completed diversion forms, victim-impact material, information identifying a minor, or other sensitive records unless office staff have provided an approved method.
