"Emergency filings” are defined as any filing seeking injunctive relief before the next business day, without which the filing party alleges it will suffer an irreparable injury.   DO NOT USE this procedure for filings that do not meet this definition.

• File emergency pleadings using the Emergency Filing event found under Other Documents → Other Filings.  These instructions apply when filing a new “emergency case” in shell cases, 1:08-08000, 2:08-08000, 4:08-08000, 6:08-08000 and 9:08-08000.

If the nature of the emergency requires immediate judicial action outside of normal business hours, file the pleading using the Emergency Filing event. Answer “yes” when prompted about the timing of the filing.  Emergency filings are monitored periodically 24 hours a day.  You will be contacted once the emergency filing has been reviewed.

Please Note:  You must use the Emergency Filing event for after-hours notification to work properly.
