Electronic Filing in Florida Courts is Here...Soon
Sunday, July 5, 2009 by James W. Martin
Lawyers in Sarasota County got a jumpstart on efiling (also known as e-filing) because Clerk of Court Karen Rushing was an early advocate for efiling. See “Deadlines set for statewide e-filing, integrated court computer system”, Fla. Bar News 6/1/09. Lawyers in bankruptcy and federal practice have also had this capability (responsibility?). Soon, all Florida lawyers will have the luxury of being able to electronically draft, sign and file their pleadings in Florida courts.
The next step is for the Florida Supreme Court to “set statewide standards for electronic filing to be used by the clerks of court to implement electronic filing.” The Legislature requested this by July 1, 2009.
