Attorneys must file new cases on or after July 1, 2022, through the e-filing system--<a href="/legal-community/e-filing">File and ServeXpress (FSX)</a>. FSX has provided e-filing service to West Virginia鈥檚 mass litigation panel cases since 2008. To protect the right to appeal for all parties, self-represented parties who do not have access to e-filing may file in paper. Rule 38A of the Rules of Appellate Procedure governs e-filing.</p><hr><h5 id="paper">OBTAINING PAPER COPIES</h5><p>Cases on the argument calendar: For cases on the argument calendar, the Clerk's Office posts the lower court's order and the briefs filed by the parties, unless the case contains confidential material.</p><p>Other cases: All public filings are available for inspection upon request.
