electronic Filing & Service for Courts

Save $50,000 per year! Go Digital!

"Googling" further on the subject of paperless law office, I discovered this gem: Chapter III - Save $50,000 a Year: Go Digital!

This is MUST reading for any lawyer interested to make their practice more efficient and more profitable. The authors, Milton & Mary Jones, run a leading practice in Georgia focused on consumer bankruptcy.

This is also a MUST reading for the folks who run the Courts. Quite simply, Courts need to be on board with electronic filing to enable their customers to achieve the efficiencies and profits, the Milton's describe in their book.

I would highly recommend purchase of his eBook. For $29.99, the return on investment is $50K!

All the motivation you need is contained in one sentence: "I will have $50,000 more in my pocket this year than I had before going electronic." - Milton Jones

Paperless Office? Paperless Court?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The paperless office was a visionary or publicist's slogan, supposed to apply to the office of the future. The suggestion was that office automation would make the sheet of paper redundant, for routine tasks such as record-keeping and bookkeeping. It came to prominence in the days of the introduction of the personal computer. While the prediction of a PC on every desk was remarkably prescient (or, regarding it as marketing talk, very effective), the paperless nature of office work was less prophetic. Printers and photocopiers have made it much easier to produce documents in bulk, word-processing has deskilled secretarial work involved in writing those documents, and paper proliferates.

Paperless office is also a suitable metaphor for the touting of new technology in terms of 'modernity' rather than its actual suitability to purpose. As in 'the introduction of categories here led to some paperless office talk about how lists were going to be made redundant'. In general, the paperless office runs at higher profit margins than comparable paper-based offices.

The prediction of the Paperless office was initially made in an article at Business Week in 1975.
