Issue 02, Spring, 2013 of Moving Justice Forward, the quarterly bulletin that provides information on the implementation of Maryland Electronic Courts (MDEC), reports that the rules order concerning e-filing was posted on May 2, 2013 on the Judiciary website. The 176th Report and Supplement Rules Order, filed May 1, will go into effect July 1, 2013.
The report included changes to existing rules because of e-filing and the new Title 20, Electronic Filing and Case Management. The new rule 20-102 states that the new Title 20 will apply only where MDEC has been established and will start with Anne Arundel County. Issues covered include how attorneys will register, a new definition of what a “day” is, signatures, procedures for self-represented litigants and access to records. The article that begins on page 9 provides a good overview of the new Title 20.
More information can be found on the MDEC webpage and in the previous issue of Moving Justice Forward, Issue 01, Winter 2013
