A quick definition of filing:

Term: FILING

Definition: Filing refers to a specific document, like a legal request, that is stored in the records of a court clerk or record keeper. For example, a lawyer might argue that a recent filing by the plaintiff is not relevant to the current case being heard in court.

A more thorough explanation:

Filing is the act of submitting a particular document, such as a pleading, to a court clerk or record custodian.

The lawyer argued that the plaintiff's most recent filing was not relevant to the issue before the court.

Another example of filing could be a person submitting their tax return to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This document would be considered a filing because it is being submitted to a record custodian.

These examples illustrate the definition of filing because they both involve submitting a document to a record custodian or court clerk.
