Better late than never, the U.S. Supreme Court announced Thursday that electronic filing of case documents will be required beginning on November 13.
A press release from the court said, “A quick link on the Court's website homepage will provide access to the new system, developed in-house to provide prompt and easy access to case documents. Once the system is in place, virtually all new filings will be accessible without cost to the public and legal community.”
The system will not be part of PACER, the longstanding operation used by lower federal courts, which charges for documents by the page up to 30 pages. A new button called “Electronic Filing” appeared today on the court's main page.
