Subject: RE: [legalxml-courtfiling] Bulk updating of attorneys associated with cases


It is important that a registry at the EFM take place where all uses register for a specific EFSP and all courts register for an EFM, the challenge now is that California is opening up the path for multiple EFMs per court.

I have seen this issue before as an attorney once asked a court I was working with to have his documents sent to his “beach office” during the summer months and his “city office” during the rest of the year.  There is also the issue with the attorney who works with a firm in one city but they are located in another.  And finally, there is an issue with multiple EFSP’s where an attorney is a member of a different one than the filer (or a government attorney who may be inside the “justice network”..

 

So, this is where I thought that there is a need for a “directory service” that the EFM should maintain for all the EFSP’s on the front end and the courts on the receiving end?

 

That way there is one place to update that is official that all the systems could in turn consume.

 

After all – it works for the Internet URL service.

Arizona law firms have been clamoring for a solution wherein they are enabled to submit default judgment case information on multiple cases at one time via a system-to-system interface between their Records Management System and e-filing system.  In other words, they don’t want to log into an e-filing system to upload, pay for, and submit documents when they can push a button within their RMS to do the same thing.

We have handled this situation several times.  I believe that the ECF communication standard should not get involved in cases like this.  The implementations on the FAMDE, FRMDE and CRMDE sides should all be aware that these are valid use cases, but in these fairly rare cases it is not unreasonable to exchange 1,000 messages rather than add complexity to the standard for the millions of filings that are not in this category.  If there is one thing computers are good at, it's doing the same thing many times quickly.

ECF TC:

 

Several members of the CITOC committee recently discussed the need for bulk updating of attorneys associated with cases. See below. Is this something we want to consider for ECF?

 

 

I am wondering if any states that have eFiling have developed a method for “mass” entry of appearance by an attorney on multiple cases.

 

We have recurring situations here, which I would assume to be similar to situations that can occur in other states, where the attorney of record for a large number of cases needs to be updated all at once.  A couple examples of when that happens for us is when an attorney from a large firm retires, or the county attorney of a high population area changes over in an election.   There can then be 1000’s of cases, where party(ies) attorney representation needs to be changed.

 

Our eFiling system is designed for attorneys to file case-by-case, and we’ve had some resistance when asking the attorneys to file appearances on all the cases that need to be changed.

 

I’m looking to find out if this was/is an issue for anyone else, and if so, if there has been a creative solution developed for the problem.
