@GodLitigation I can’t express how much I miss CaseText. I’m hoping @FreeLawProject eventually gets close to reviving the simplicity that was CaseText.

@BrandiNChurch You may have some insight on this. Per John O'Keefe's phone data, he went down several flights of steps, maybe when he was in Karen's car on the way to 34 Fairview. Is there data showing the phone went up flights of steps after leaving 34 FV (also in a vehicle)?

[Massachusetts Court Closings @MACourtClosings]

The Worcester Probate & Family Court is closed temporarily for disinfecting and will reopen on Wednesday, 3/24. The other courts in the Worcester Trial Court remain open. Details at https://t.co/jLpJyVm9ko

Is it a bad sign that the Chief Justice had to issue a reminder to parents that custody orders are still in effect while the courts are closed? https://t.co/nZOD8DojsD

Also, MA family courts limit e-filing to contested divorces and certain guardianships. So just a sliver of all family law cases, which is why not many lawyers bother. This would be a good time to take off the training wheels. #legaltech #masscourts @MassBar

Excellent point. MA's courts encourage e-filing, BUT also still...

1. Require scans of wet signatures; and

2. Maintain exclusive/restrictive single-vendor e-filing contracts (currently: one e-filing vendor=1 spigot; imagine how multiple connections would get justice flowing?!)

We might look back on coronavirus as the thing that finally forced the legal profession to modernize. #legaltech #FamilyLaw #lawtwitter

Chief Justice Ralph D. Gants has the #legalinnovation message we need rn (letter to MA bar on 3/19/2020):

"There is abundant room for discussions that begin with the words, "What if...?" ...if we do our jobs well, a future generation will say of us, "This was their finest hour."
