For many years I have been an admirer for the Argentina Judiciary’s Center for Judicial Information website. I think that it is one of the best judicial websites in the world and it is one that should be studied and monitored by other judiciaries. Via our good friend, Mr. Luis Maria Palma, President of E-Justicia Latinoamerica and a Vice-President of the International Association for Court Administration we were able to contact Ms. Maria Bourdin, who late last year was named as head of their Ministry of Communication and Open Government. She was kind enough to answer our questions and share information regarding their excellent court website.

Michigan Releases Statewide E-Filing RFP
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_Island_Light_(Michigan) |
On August 25, 2016, State Court Administrator Milton L. Mack, Jr. announced:
“I am pleased to report that the Michigan Supreme Court released a Request for Proposals (RFP) today, seeking a vendor to supply a statewide system that will allow litigants to file cases electronically from anywhere at any time. The RFP also asks that vendors submit proposals for an electronic document management system so that courts can receive and manage e-filed documents.
Release of the RFP is a major step forward in our efforts to help trial courts across Michigan benefit from the potential improvements in efficiency that e-filing can provide, including reduced handling of paper files and reduced need for manual data entry of case information.

Storage, SSD’s and the Future of Court Records
A recent article stated “SSD prices plummet again, close in on HDD”. Translated that means that solid state “flash” storage that runs much faster than traditional hard disk drives (HDD’s) is closing in on price parity. But what does this mean for court records? We discuss and speculate below.

That said…
