Certified copy and courtesy email section is not self-explanatory to a filer who does not know whether either is required. Add framing such as If you want a certified copy or courtesy email for your filing so it is clear these are optional requests.
Code check / feasibility
Both pieces of copy are currently hard-coded in efile_app/efile/templates/efile/organize_documents.html, so this is a small front-end/configuration change.
Because “petition” may still be the better example in another jurisdiction or case type, prefer configurable help text/examples rather than a global Vermont-specific replacement.
The optional-services implementation already distinguishes required services from optional services, so explanatory copy can be added without changing filing payload behavior.
Acceptance criteria
- Vermont uses
complaint as the example of a document that starts a filing.
- The certified-copy/courtesy-email section clearly tells users that these are options they may request, not steps they must complete.
- Other jurisdictions can keep different terminology through configuration.
- No change is made to the underlying optional-service or courtesy-email payload semantics.
