The GCAR application can be accessed here: GCAR
Key Information:
- All civil filing reservations must be submitted through GCAR. The Clerk’s Office will no longer accept reservations by phone or email.
- GCAR is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, allowing counsel to make reservations outside of normal business hours.
- GCAR will display only those court dates with availability corresponding to the number of filings requested.
- The Clerk’s Office will use GCAR to monitor firm filings. Reservations that exceed the Court’s allowable capacity will be returned to the submitting firm via USPS Mail. There will be no other notice provided prior to the return.
- Civil filers will be able to view and track their existing reservations within the system.
- Continuances in Courtroom 2A may NOT be scheduled for a date the firm has already reached the maximum number of reserved filings. Another court date must be selected.
- All reservations will be made under the Firm Name. Each attorney or staff member will register individually in GCAR upon first use and associate their account with their firm.
- Firms that file frequently with the Court have been preloaded into GCAR prior to implementation to facilitate initial registration and use.
- As of now, ALL county attorneys must sign up as a Law Firm user under 'Office of the County Attorney' using a non-county email.
