TCS/WebTCS - Revised Caseload Quick Reference Guides March 17, 2025

Attention TCS/WebTCS Courts (Circuit, Juvenile, Probate)

JIS has revised the TCS Caseload Quick Reference Guides (QRG) to better align with the caseload instructions.   The following updates were made:

• In the Circuit Court Quick Reference Guide:
  • Juvenile case types, Adoption case types, Miscellaneous Family and Ancillary case types have all been incorporated into the Circuit QRG.   These case types are all reported under Circuit Court for caseload purposes.
  • Some terminology and helpful troubleshooting tips have been reworded to accommodate both Circuit and Juvenile.
• The Juvenile Quick Reference Guide has been retired.
• In the Probate Quick Reference Guide:
  • Adoption case types, Miscellaneous Family and Ancillary case types were removed. These case types are reported under Circuit Court for caseload purposes.

Please be mindful that if a Probate clerk processes Adoptions and other Probate case types in the Probate office, they will need to have both QRG booklets available (Circuit and Probate) for reference depending on the case type being processed.

These two caseload quick reference guides can be found on the JIS Self-Service Portal/Knowledge Base.  https://servicedesk.courts.michigan.gov
