We just returned from a CLE lunch hosted by the Madison County Bar Association. Today, we had the pleasure of hearing Chief Justice Bill Waller and company speak about the coming of e-filing in the Madison County Chancery Court.
If you're unfamiliar with e-filing, then don't worry. It's not here yet. But it's coming soon. As of July 22, we'll be running "hot" here in Madison County, with hopes of starting similar programs in Scott and Warren Counties in the coming months.
Much like in federal court, where they currently have the system in place, the e-filing system will bring a court to the forefront of technology. Mississippi is on the cutting edge of this technological wave. While some people consider this state a laggard in most realms, I can tell you that's not the case. In fact, with regards to this topic, it's currently the only state in the country utilizing the system for anything but federal cases.
I applaud the state of Mississippi and the Mississippi Supreme Court for doing their part to create positive change in the legal system.
