Are there any other attorneys out there learning ZOPE.
Yes. Although I though I was the only one. Good to see I'm not.
If yes, I would like to discuss the application of ZOPE to Law Office information handling in general and to the related topic of the move to an XML based Electronic Court Record in particular. Please contact me directly instead of via the mail list.
Are you just milling over ideas or do you have something more specific in mind? I've though the idea over recently as one of my clients filed a patent infringement suit in the Southern District of Texas. Problem is, the Magistrate and the Judge in that case are both technology adverse, and don't like the "intrusion." I haven't broached the topic with the other side, but I suspect that I would get a better reception to that idea there. Has that been your experience? Frankly, I think that the courts would be more open to technology if it were easier to use. Current court docket programs were clearly written by non-attorneys. Definitely room for improvement in this area. Regards, Ronald L. Chichester Attorney at Law
