This service will allow you to initiate a case or file to an existing case electronically. Attorneys will register to E-File through AIS.
Non-attorney users who are employed by an attorney may request a Firm Financial Manager (FFM) Account. Once approved, the non-attorney FFM may access the E-Filing System but is not authorized to E-File documents.
Thank you for your participation in the use of our E-Filing system.
Attorneys representing defendants may now initiate E-filing cases under NOA Codes (700) Death Settlement, (730) Minor Settlement, and (790) Incapacitated Adult Settlement. In the past, these cases would be traditionally filed when initiated by defense counsel. In order to E-file, defense counsel must have the last name and bar number of plaintiff's counsel. Details on how to initiate one of these cases can be found in ARG 26 - Initiating A Case By Defense Attorney.
E-filing users may have received a notice from the federal electronic filing system (ECF) regarding fake Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) being sent to attorneys and law firms. While we have received no reports of any such phishing scams targeting users of the South Carolina Judicial Branch’s E-filing system, we take this opportunity to remind you that NEFs generated by our system do not contain hyperlinks of any kind. If you receive a purported NEF from the SCJB E-filing system containing hyperlinks, do not click on them, and please report them to E-filing help desk by calling (855) 235-2500.
