Guided interview & Docassemble integration WIP
LITEFile pairs naturally with guided interview engines like the Document Assembly Line and Docassemble to provide an end-to-end access to justice pipeline:
Pro Se User → Guided Interview Form Prep → PDF Generated → LITEFile Pre-fill & Upload → EFSP E-Filing → Court Review
1. Handoff architecture
When a user completes a guided interview on a Docassemble or AssemblyLine server, the interview can package the resulting PDF files and redirect the user directly to LITEFile with pre-populated session variables.
Key integration points:
- Direct PDF delivery via S3: The interview uploads generated PDFs directly to the secure S3 bucket with temporary pre-signed keys.
- Session pre-fill API: The interview transmits initial metadata (jurisdiction, court code, case category, party names) to LITEFile's session API.
- Seamless authentication: If single sign-on is enabled between platforms, the user transitions straight into the review and submission steps.
2. Roadmap & standards
The LIT Lab is actively developing standardized data schemas for guided interview to e-filing handoffs based on the Electronic Court Filing (ECF) 5.0 standard and the Legal XML working group specifications.
