San Diego Superior Court Kicks Off its Imaging and eFiling Initiative
Posted by Mark Schwartz on Mon, Feb 13, 2012 @ 11:24 AM
Last Thursday, February 9th, I had the privilege of joining the Hon. Jeffrey Barton (Superior Court of San Diego County), Sharon Bristow (E-Filing & Imaging Project Manager), Celeste Schwartz (Chief Information Officer) and approximately 100 members of the San Diego Bar Association for the first of many discussions about the court's upcoming Imaging and eFiling deployment.
We at One Legal have been chosen by the court (after a rigorous rfp/bid/selection process) to assist with this project, and are excited and honored to have been selected. Judge Barton spoke to the timeline, challenges and benefits of the project from the courts perspective and I presented information about the benefits of eFiling and eService, as well as some ideas about possible features that could be included.
During both presentations, and afterwards, there was great back and forth amongst the panel, members of the bar, other members of the court's project team, and other One Legal personnel on hand. We all (the court and One Legal) believe strongly that the success of this project depends heavily on participation from members of the local legal community and in that light we've formed an advisory board that already includes 17 members of the San Diego Bar, 2 members of the court and a supervising paralegal. Working together with our customers, as we have on many past projects, ensures that we build what you want and that it works the way you want it to!
Over the next few months my team and I (and other members of the One Legal project team) will be spending a lot of time in San Diego working with all of the project stakeholders and I must admit, I could think of worse places for a big project! So, stay informed on the project progress, sign up for training (when it's available), and get updates on related local events, by watching for future posts in this blog, reading OneSource, our monthly newsletter, and watching for updates on our San Diego Superior Court eFiling and eService website. And if you are interested in joining the Board, or our Customer Council, email me at mschwartz@onelegal.com.
