I recently spoke to the Honorable D. Webster Keogh again, the Administrative Judge of the trial division, Court of Common Pleas, with the help of Mike Meehan of Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott. This time, we talked about the e-filing system for the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. Our discussion was timely, because the court is offering three hours of CLE on e-filing on April 22, in Room 380, City Hall. Inquiries should be directed to [email protected].
The process of filing pleadings certainly has changed since I started practicing. Filing in Philadelphia used to be somewhat complicated. Back in the dark ages, simple motions to compel discovery for failure to respond were filed in Motion Court (not the Prothonotary and not Discovery Court), with stops along the way to pay the filing fee and to pick up a set of docket entries to attach to the motion. Some of us even admit to accomplishing minutes-late filings in “the old days” by shoving filings under a City Hall door to meet a deadline (or at least being told that it had been done).
