Filing Timing and Cure Windows
16907 rules across 177 courts
Filing timing rules explain when a submission is considered filed, what happens after business-hours transmission, and whether a rejected filing can be corrected without losing the original date. These details are critical in courts where e-filing acceptance, clerk review, payment, or a court technology outage can change the practical filing deadline. A filing may be transmitted on time but still need a cure step, fee correction, or clerk acceptance before it is complete. Ordinary filing deadlines, such as a brief due seven days before a hearing, are listed in their own section on each court's page.
