Here is the new standing order for the W.D. Va. on case management and electronic filing - which a reader from Roanoke pointed out to me earlier this week.
The order says, among other things, that "[a]ll attorneys appearing before this Court on or after December 13, 2004, shall be required to file all documents electronically, unless otherwise authorized by the presiding judge or the electronic filing procedures."
I saw a memo last summer listing the members of a committee for electronic case filing in the W.D. Va. The members of the committee at that time (July 9) were stated as Chief Judge Wilson, Magistrate Judge Sargent, Jeremy Carroll of Danville, Henry Keuling-Stout of Big Stone Gap, the Clerk John Corcoran, Norman Kinnier from Lynchburg, AUSA Julie Dudley, Deputy Clerk Patti Nelms, Bill Eskridge, Bill Poff, and Gary Kendall from Charlottesville. Of the lawyers, I know that Mr. Poff is a real cyberdog, I don't know about the others, but maybe a panel of tech-savvy people is not what was desired.
I imagine the procedures once promulgated will be something like these I have been studying from the Southern District of Ohio.
