The following matters use a Clerk-controlled special-matter workflow and are not opened through an ordinary filer-selected case type:
| Matter | Caption | Initial material |
|---|---|---|
| Certified question | Existing caption followed by | On a Certified Question Authenticated certificate |
| Impeachment | In re Impeachment of [Officer] | Certified articles and Senate record |
| Attorney discipline | In re [Attorney] | Verified petition or Court charging order |
| Judicial discipline | In re [Judicial Officer] | Formal charges or Court order |
| Supreme Court contempt not | In re Contempt of [Person] | Court show-cause order |

The production ECMS must permit the Clerk to create these matters without fictitious originating data. Until it does, the Clerk may maintain a separately authenticated special docket and create only a safe operational placeholder; the Clerk must not direct a party to misstate the origin or legal nature.
