Guide and File by Tyler Technologies (a UJS contractor) is an online service that provides user-friendly forms preparation. It is designed to make starting a legal proceeding easier and to improve the accuracy and completeness of forms filed with the clerk of courts office.
The required forms for certain court actions can be prepared online by answering a series of questions called an "interview." At the end of the interview, Guide and File generates the necessary forms. Please read all instructions in the interview and in the instructions and checklist form linked in the interview. Print and submit the forms to the Court by filing them at the Clerk's Office counter in the proper county.
This electronic service is completely free. If you do not have a printer, you may have to pay printing costs. If you have any thoughts on how to improve this service, please send an email with your suggestions to UJSeSupport@ujs.state.sd.us.
