In all litigation matters, the court requires that certain documents be filed with the court. This includes documents submitted to initiate a lawsuit, all claims, petitions, pleadings, and regulations. Until recently, filing was done directly through mail or filing services.
It is becoming more common for courts to require electronic filing of documents. In federal court, this is already mandatory for lawyers. If the court where the lawsuit is pending requires an electronic application, you must learn the procedure. To create a PDF document, you may need to purchase a program such as Acrobat Writer.
It took about two hours to understand how to submit an electronic file to federal court. Philadelphia's common plea court is moving rapidly towards electronic filing. It will be interesting to see how efficiently the new system is implemented. Clearing system learning hurdles allows e-filing to save money in real time.
Another big advantage of electronic filing is that you can file at the last moment. If you need to submit a specific document by 30 July, you do not need to keep it overnight on 29 July. For more information on e-Filing, please visit the court website.
In federal court, lawyers are already required to file an electronic return. Without a lawyer, you might be more generous. The same can be expected for state courts, but each court has its own policy.
