Subject: RE: [legalxml-courtfiling] Charter: Mention Marked-Up Documents
I think the needs of lawyers need to acknowledged. The filings for them are ways to influence a judge's or jury's decision. If they feel put into a strait-jacket for extraneous reasons, they may feel that electronic filing is an obstacle, rebel and complain to the judges. A way to prevent such an outcome, which I think would be disasterous for electronic court filing, is to assure that free-form of argument is available somewhere within a document. It may not even be persistent data from the perspective of the court administration, but it is a matter of record and will require preservation nontheless. It could be stored as a single blob or as some kind of character data. But it will need to be included, to avoid real trouble, IMHO. > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: RE: [legalxml-courtfiling] Charter: Mention Marked-Up > Documents > From: "O'Brien, Robert" <Robert.OBrien@cas-satj.gc.ca> > Date: Mon, January 08, 2007 7:09 pm > To: <Roger.Winters@METROKC.GOV>, > <legalxml-courtfiling@lists.oasis-open.org> > Cc: <john@greacen.net> > > As a fellow representative of the Court User domain, I wholeheartedly > endorse Roger's sentiments.
