Less than two years after the state judiciary was given the authority to mandate e-filing for a wide swath of courts and cases, court administrators want additional authority that, in the words of a report released Friday, will “carry us further.”
The Office of Court Administration, in its annual report on the state of e-filing, wants lawmakers to lift a prohibition requiring the chief administrative judge to get legislative approval before ordering e-filing in matrimonial matters. Also, the OCA wants to eliminate restrictions on Appellate Division e-filing and modify some sunset provisions in current law.
