Colorado State Judge O. John Kuenhold Retires
One of our judicial E-filing pioneers has retired (but was still at CTC-2011). His local newspaper, The Valley Courier, noted in an article about his retirement:
“Kuenhold has seen changes in the 12th District court system. From 1981 to today it has become very challenging to manage my time to get it all done,” he said."
“The volume of cases has doubled. Not only has the number of cases increased, but the number of papers filed in each case has also multiplied."
“Case files used to have a few pages of paper,” he said. “Now they have 50 pieces or more.”
I think we all sensed that this trend was occurring. It is good that a judge "on the front line" reports on the impact from experience.
New Version of URN:Lex Released
Development of the URN:Lex standard, version zero point 4, is continuing under the auspices of the IETF. The purpose of the standard is to create a unique permanent identifier for legal documents. I recommend that courts look to this for all documents received and created in order to deal with verification and future access/archival issues. See an earlier CTB article for more background on this.
