Wrangling Over Control of Court Technology

Sadly our state courts has failed to keep up with technology as far as electronic access for filing and reviewing documents. Now though this issue is apparent and rules regarding the same have been drafted, the fight for control of the process has slowed us down once again. The elected Clerks of Court and the court system have both staked a claim to control of the Internet "portal." I know they are communicating and trying to come to a resolution. Let's hope the dispute can be resolved more quickly than most as Floridian legal consumers stand to benefit significantly from the technology we now have available.

Technological advances

Technology is a truly double-edged sword. How many of us have accidentally sent an e-mail to someone we didn't mean to? Maybe hit forward instead of reply or vice versa. I made that error once back when e-mail was just becoming common place, at least common place for me. I think it was in law school. But once was definitely enough.

Of course with all this technology we have the ability to be instantly connected and to see new information continuously updated. Generally that is a good thing. I am enjoying having this space and certainly enjoying the feedback I have received about this blog. The interactive characteristics of a blog and the ability to update it so easily, as opposed to a website, make it full of possibilities. As I said I so look forward to your comments. Keep them coming!
