From the Missouri Lawyer Weekly of October 23, 2006
This article describes that the MO Appeals Court (Western and Eastern) will require all pleadings with the court to be in both printed and electronic form. It says that currently the court requires hard copy and encourages a digital version.
The article continues with a description of the benefits realized.
****************************************************************************************
No doubt there are benefits, but this solution is simply email filing....more benefits would accrue through a dedicated application that keeps the filings organized; more easily searchable; more secure; and able to be viewed by more than the sender/receiver. Also, why continue to burden the filer with the requirement they must aslo submit the hard copy?
