The Nevada Supreme Court has completed its electronic filing system and is accepting all cases through e-filing.
The system allows documents to be filed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It also allows lawyers and court clerks to pay filing fees, view and print documents and docket sheets.
Chief Justice James Hardesty says the system will improve efficiency and cut costs.
He adds it should help the court, which handles more than 2,200 cases annually, resolve cases more quickly.
E-filing began as a pilot program in March 2008. The pilot program was limited to criminal fast track cases in which all parties were represented by public lawyers.
It began accepting e-filing in all criminal cases in February.
As of Thursday, civil cases also were being accepted electronically.
