“(Turn and face the strange)
Ch…Ch…Changes”
David Bowie, “Changes”
Just as Bob Dylan observed that you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, you don’t need me to know that the look of this blog has changed. I can, however, share with you the nature and purposes of the changes, and what you can expect going forward.
The blog now takes on the look and feel of its new “parent”, the new JusticeTech website.
The new masthead, “The Paperless Court Blog”, focuses on the internal and external challenges of courts to go paperless and its business practices. While it will touch on the solution of the JusticeTech solution suite on occasion, the ideas and concepts behind the blog are designed to be helpful for any court.
The previous blog title is not so much replaced as subsumed. “Order in the Court” (to which yours truly contributes and will continue to contribute on a regular basis) becomes one of several sections within the blog.
For my money, the biggest and best news is that more folks are going to be contributing material. Some examples of future topics include:
- Mandatory vs Permissive eFiling
- Why eFiling is Not Enough
- Making Court Processes Easier for Self-Representative Litigants
- Assumptions and Policies that Delay Going Paperless
- Why Most Cloud Solutions Aren’t Really the Cloud
- Why Open Standards Are Key for Courts
In addition to these (and my on-going “Order in the Court” postings), expect ad-hoc postings from:
- ImageSoft CEO, Dave Hawkins
- President, Scott Bade
- Chief Technology Officer, James Leneschmidt
- JusticeTech Product Owner, Jenny Bunch
- Sr. Justice Consultant, Brad Smith
- And others with valuable perspectives on the technology and business practices that are involved in moving to and effectively managing a paperless court.
In short, the changes to the blog include a fresh, new format, more material (hopefully at least one posting a week), and input from industry experts with broad and deep experience in court management, court technology, industry standards, and customer and business partner relationship development and management. We are committed to provide you, our readers, information that is useful, accessible, timely, and (not least), entertaining.
Thank you for reading our blog.
