What must be confirmed when electronically filing documents?

When electronically filing documents, it is essential to confirm that the date and time of acceptance are displayed. This confirmation is crucial for establishing a clear record of when the documents were officially submitted to the court. The timestamp can affect various aspects of legal proceedings, such as deadlines for responses or motions, ensuring that all parties are aware of when documents were filed.

The accuracy of statements made within the document, while important, is typically ensured through the preparation and review process prior to filing, rather than being a specific confirmation needed at the time of electronic submission. Similarly, while understanding the identity of the opposing party is essential for the overall legal process, it does not directly pertain to the electronic filing confirmation itself. The judge’s approval is also not a standard requirement for filing documents electronically, as many documents can be filed without prior approval, pending review by the court thereafter.
