A working draft of policy and functional standards for electronic filing processes in the courts have been placed for public comment until June 16, 2002.  The draft appears on the National Center's Standards page.  Direct links to the lengthy documents: [105 pg. PDF, 108 pg. Word].   The final work product is scheduled to be presented to the National Consortium for State Court Automation Standards and the COSCA/NACM Joint Technology Committee in July 2002.  For more info on court XML initiatives, I recommend Robin Cover's piece on the COSCA/NACM JTC project.
