Additional actions taken by the courts to address this objective
1st Circuit
The Court maintained the e-notification program, whereby litigants voluntarily register to receive Clerk's Office issuances via email. The Court maintained the EClerk's Counter, whereby the public can order copies of a record in an appeal or a writ application in CD or paper copy form. Online payment for these services is an option using Visa and MasterCard. The Court's e-filing service is also available through EClerk's Counter.
2nd Circuit
The court programmer was actively involved in observing the clerk's office functions, needs, and requirements, and is writing a case management system that will interface with the existing case management system. Once the new case management system is in place, the court will move forward to e-filing and e-notification.
5th Circuit
The Fifth Circuit e-filing system went online on May 1, 2015. The Court has maintained an e-notice system for over a year.
