Joders of Schaefer, Inc. is also the software to install. Purcell had heard rumors that the software could be installed in two or three days. It was to the source of the data.

The cases that are pending. So we decided let's go ahead and do some type of a web-based tutorial to hopefully get the training out to the attorney. So that's why we took a look at the FJC's tutorial to see will that meet our needs. With a few modifications to the FJC template, the tutorial is now a key element of the court's ACF website. We've gotten some feedback from attorneys who have been using it. The notice is on the court's website.

The fears that I had were that it would possibly reduce my kick and won't myself out of the job. I guess one of the biggest fears I had was that we were three that I wouldn't even be able to understand the system that I had grown accustomed to for the many years of being here. I knew it would become extinct. So I would have my first reaction was the same as everyone else's fear and resistance to change. To put it so through this sooner rather than later, our belief is that the CMECF is absolutely essential for us to be able to keep up with the caseload that we've got. The court considers 7,000 cases a year to this ever-increasing case rate. But with its shared location, and in bankruptcy court has another part to CMECF. We have no space.
