Recently, I finally took the time to sign up to participate in appellate e-filing in Pennsylvania’s state appellate courts. Appellate e-filing is currently only available in the Commonwealth Court and the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. It is not yet available in the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, but it is expected to become available there soon.
Electronic filing remains optional in those Pennsylvania appellate courts that offer it. By contrast, e-filing has been mandatory for quite some time now in the Philadelphia-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Appellate e-filing, when implemented in a way that works easily and logically from the user’s point of view, can be quite a wonderful thing. Thus far, Pennsylvania’s appellate e-filing system has worked well for me, as I shall describe in more detail below.
