  • Court filings and pleadings
  • Attorney-to-attorney correspondence
  • Discovery document transmissions
  • Notarized document delivery
  • Signed settlement agreements and releases

Tips

  1. 1Filing deadlines are usually based on when the court receives the fax, not when you send it. Allow extra time.
  2. 2Include the case number and caption in the subject field so court staff can route it without opening your documents.
  3. 3Keep your fax confirmation receipt with your file. It is your evidence of timely transmission if a deadline dispute arises.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this to file documents with a court?

You can, but courts have their own fax filing rules. Verify the court's local rules on fax filing before transmitting, and retain your confirmation receipt as proof of timely submission.

Does a fax cover sheet create attorney-client privilege?

No. The confidentiality notice on the cover sheet is a standard courtesy notice. Privilege depends on the content and the parties, not on the cover sheet.

What should I put in the subject line for court filings?

Include the case name, docket number, and a brief description of what is being filed (e.g., 'Smith v. Jones, No. 24-CV-1234 -- Motion to Dismiss').
