    David Lat Retweeted Tweed Suit, Esq.  💎

    By federal judge standards, yes - using an iPad to read briefs & the record makes you "tech proficient." My husband is clerking right now, and his circuit still uses... fax machines.https://twitter.com/TweedEsquire/status/1016466501824630785 …

    That qualifies as “tech proficient”?

        We are still waiting for LA Superior Court to get the efiling up! We can only do it in the PI cases. So I still fax file too, and pray I'll get a conformed copy eventually.

        We were the last circuit court in Oregon to get efile. We didn't even fax we had to walk actual copies over to the court. But we don't even have parking meters in town so access to the courthouse is easy.

        As of a few years ago, many district courts still required submission of proposed jury charges in WordPerfect format.

        The Courts are slow to adapt to high tech. I still can’t use my iPad Pro, or any electronic devices, in King’s (Brooklyn) County Surrogate’s Court during Thursday appearances. Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx Surrogates are more permissive.

        Federal shipping manifest are printed using matrix dot printers. I'm not surprised at the lasting power of fax.

        If it is the Circuit I think it is, the amazing part is that it uses fax *exclusively* for circuit business and communication.

        I...seriously? Wow. I mean, A+ on the emergency prep - fax lines being standalone to the main trunks - but that’s a tough workflow to still employ. He’s a champ. ^5

        On a somewhat related note I find it amazing that the fax machine was patented in 1843. http://ethw.org/Fax_Machines
