Subject: RE: [legalxml-courtfiling] Charter: Mention Marked-Up Documents
This is the reason that in many early or documents we referred to this as the legal community. I think you all have good points that it would be helpful to define and the legal community and to support the different constituencies within the community. We must however that we cannot locally optimize everyone! There will always be trade-offs that the TC will need to be aware of that work for and that balancing is part of the mission.

The filings for them are ways to influence a judge's or jury's decision. If they feel put into a strait-jacket for extraneous reasons, they may feel that electronic filing is an obstacle, rebel and complain to the judges. A way to prevent such an outcome, which I think would be disasterous for electronic court filing, is to assure that free-form of argument is available somewhere within a document. It may not even be persistent data from the perspective of the court administration, but it is a matter of record and will require preservation nontheless. It could be stored as a single blob or as some kind of character data. But it will need to be included, to avoid real trouble, IMHO. > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: RE: [legalxml-courtfiling] Charter: Mention Marked-Up > Documents > From: "O'Brien, Robert" <Robert.OBrien@cas-satj.gc.ca> > Date: Mon, January 08, 2007 7:09 pm > To: <Roger.Winters@METROKC.GOV>, > <legalxml-courtfiling@lists.oasis-open.org> > Cc: <john@greacen.net> > > As a fellow representative of the Court User domain, I wholeheartedly > endorse Roger's sentiments.
