Federal e-filing race is on...

Image result for dead last"Effective September 10, 2018, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals will implement the Next Generation (NextGen) of Case Management Electronic Case Filing (CM/ECF) system."

This is a week ahead of the 11th Circuit's announced date for upgrading. And the 5th Circuit hasn't yet set an actual date. So it remains to be seen who will win the award for "last federal appellate court to upgrade to NextGen e-filing."



Also of note: Today's DJ profiles OCSC Judge Craig Griffin in Judicial Flipper (the title relates to his side line of flipping houses). Before his appointment in 2009, Judge Griffin was a 4/3 research attorney for Justice Aronson starting in 2004.
