has become the first appellate court to offer e-filing
by automating its appeals filing and printing process. Briefs can be
scanned or entered on line. To file electronically, a law firm must get a
log-on for the system and do some training with the court. The law firm
needs a computer with Internet access, a scanner and Adobe Acrobat
software ($249) to convert documents. In the future, fees will be
transferred electronically, eliminating the need to send a check.
