In
law, filing is the act of submitting a
document to the
clerk of a
court for the court's immediate consideration, for storage in the court's files, or both. Courts will not consider motions unless an appropriate
memorandum or
brief is filed before the appropriate
deadline. Usually a filing
fee is paid at the same time; such filing fees are one part of the variety of charges that are known as court costs.
