E-Filing is the process of filing pleadings and documents into a Court and is only available in certain jurisdictions. E-service is the exchange and management of pleadings and other documents using a secure, password-protected website (i.e. LexisNexis File & Serve).
In some jurisdictions E-Filing and E-Service are used in conjunction with one another and provide users with powerful solutions for delivering, storing, and accessing their documents. Many users of File & Serve may think that they are limited to using our E-Service options only when E-Filing is also available in their cases. However, in many jurisdictions, E-Service is used even when E-Filing is not available, and still provides users with the same convenience and service that they are used to receiving from LexisNexis. File & Serve offers litigation solutions for all phases of the litigation life-cycle including discovery!
