R.I. Sup. Ct. R. Art. X, R. 6

(a) Applicability. Electronic Service of

documents is limited to those documents permitted by court rule to be served by mail

or facsimile transmission. Subpoenas, summonses and complaints, petitions or other

documents that must be hand delivered or served in person with a summons shall

not be served electronically. All discovery on a case shall be electronically served

using the EFS except when discovery is of a type which does not lend itself to

electronic service (either because it consists of non-conforming documents or is too

voluminous), in which case conventional service shall be used.

(b) Consent to Electronic Service. Upon the initiation of a case and/r upon submission of an entry of appearance in a matter, Registered Users are deemed to consent

to receive Electronic Service of all documents through the EFS.

(c) Service Upon Registered Users. A party may accomplish service on another

Registered User by utilizing the Electronic Service function of the EFS. The transmission of an e-mail through the EFS that contains the link to the document being

served shall constitute service of the filed document(s).

(d) Service on Nonregistered Users. The party filing a document must serve nonregistered users by Conventional Service and must submit proof of such service to

the court.

(e) Certificate of Service. All documents filed using the EFS shall include a certificate of service stating that the document has been filed electronically and that it is

available for viewing or downloading from the EFS. The certificate of service must

identify the manner in which the service on each party was accomplished. The certificate of service may be in the following form:

Rule 6.1 eNotification – (a) Applicability. eNotification messages are automatically

generated and transmitted by the CMS upon the entry of a docketable event or the

scheduling of a hearing in a given case and are sent to the email address on file with

the Supreme Court attorney registration. All attorneys who have filed an entry of

appearance in a case will receive all eNotification messages generated for that case.

(b) Consent to eNotification. Upon the initiation of a case and/or upon submission

of an entry of appearance in a matter, attorneys are deemed to consent to receive all

eNotification messages applicable to that matter through email.

(c) Not Official Notice. eNotification messages to attorneys are for informational

purposes only and do not constitute official notice of the court. All attorneys remain

obligated under the Usage Agreement, the Rhode Island Rules of Professional Conduct, and/or other applicable rules to remain abreast of developments in each case to

which they are a party, and to keep their contact information, including email addresses, up to date at all times. No party may rely upon the failure to receive an

eNotification message to assert lack of notice of a given event, nor may the receipt

or lack of receipt of an eNotification message be used by a party in the prosecution

or defense of an argument in any proceeding before any court.

(d) Not Official Court Record. eNotification messages do not comprise any part

of the official court record of any case and will not be maintained in the CMS or

elsewhere.
