Who will be last to upgrade?

All the federal Circuit Courts of Appeals are using Next/Gen e-filing, except the 5th, 7th, and 11th Circuits. The 5th Circuit recently announced it would be upgrading sometime soon. So who will be last? [7/17 update -- perhaps in response to blog-shaming(?!), the 11th Circuit just announced that it will be upgrading to NextGen on Sept. 17, 2018!]

The LA Law Library will be offering Appeals: Making Your Case & Persuading the Court on July 12 from noon to 1 p.m. Kudos to SoCal appellate specialists Tyna Orren and David Alexrad for presenting this free course to the public.

Registration is now open for the California Lawyers Association Annual Meeting in September in San Diego. The keynote luncheon speaker will be retired Justice Kathryn Werdegar. The program list looks great, and includes Appellate Issues in Trusts & Estates Matters and How to Win a Writ Petition (Criminal or Civil). More details here.
