Great news for Madison County clients and attorneys
Mississippi testing electronic filing system for state courts
The Madison County Journal recently reported that the Madison County, Mississippi Chancery Clerk and Circuit Clerk were authorized by the Mississippi Supreme Court to test an electronic filing system similar to one currently used in Mississippi Federal Courts. The testing of the program will be over a four month period.
Chancery Clerk Arthur Johnston was quoted as saying the system might not be practical for state courts. However, having used the system myself in Federal Courts and in other state courts, I can tell you there is no reason we should not be implementing it here in Mississippi. It benefits clients, attorneys, and court personnel. I’m holding out hope Mississippi will implement the system statewide and join a majority of jurisdictions where electronic filing systems are the norm and working quite well.
