Tuesday, March 11, 2003In response to Ernie's call for assistance (thanks, Ernie), I received with gratitude the following great links:
- From M. Sean Fosmier: "Please visit our Courts.net site, where all web sites for all courts are linked, and where we provide information on electronic filing issues and privacy issues." This site bills itself as the "nation's court directory," and there's lots of useful information here about the courts and electronic filing.
- From Carolyn Elefant, of MyShingle.com: "Wendy Leibowitz, a lawyer and journalist follows electronic filing projects which also generally has information on electronic access." I consider this site, WendyTech, a real find. Her article, "E-Filing Projects in the U.S.," is subdivided by state and provides summaries of the status of e-filing in the various state courts. What, no Louisiana?! (making mental note to submit info, such that it is) Wendy aptly cautions, however, that "[c]ompiling a list of electronic filing projects is like painting a moving train. Assume the list below is outdated." While some of the information provided is undoubtedly outdated (the last updates I saw were posted in April 2002), it'll be a good resource for my project.
- Carolyn Elefant also referred me to the National Center for State Courts' website, which bills itself as "an information clearinghouse on the topic of public access to court records and the data privacy issues that arise as courts improve and expand their court information systems and increase electronic access to court information." This site provides both official and unofficial information for federal and state courts, subdivided by state. Another great resource.
