LexisNexis and Texas Court Sued Over File and Serve Service Used Locally for Complex Litigation Docket

By Cleveland Law Library

ADVERTISEMENTS

Locally, litigants and attorneys partcipating in the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court's complex litigation docket must use LexisNexis File and Serve to access or file documents. Interestingly enough, according to law.com, a woman in Texas has sued a court and judge there, as well as LexisNexis, over a similar civil filing requirement for Montgomery County, Texas. Her suit was filed as a class action in federal district court in Houston under both the Texas and US constitutions and alleges, among other claims, due process and equal protection violations, as well as RICO violations under federal law (18 U.S.C. secs. 1961-1968). According to the article, the woman has paid almost $450 so far to access and/or file documents in her case. Click here to see a list from the ABA indicating which courts employ e-filing rules.

Thanks to Hamilton County Ohio's County Law Library for the tip.
