Virginia's Statewide E-Filing System Making Progress, with Careful Implementation
valawyersweekly.com reports: Virginia Chief Justice Leroy Rountree Hassell Sr. drew applause when he told a roomful of lawyers the state?s planned electronic filing system will be lawyer-friendly. ?It?s going to be available to a lawyer who hates computers,? Hassell said.
 
Hassell said the court hopes to have a pilot e-filing system up and running in the courts of Norfolk in a year.
 
Nevertheless, Hassell said court officials would move ?slowly and methodically? to implement e-filing throughout the rest of the state. ?We are not going to roll out this program around the state until we have achieved perfection in Norfolk,? he said.
