The local court system in the county where Jack Parsons practices has just implemented an electronic filing system and a document management system, identical to the federal CM/ECF and PACER systems. However, the courts give the attorneys the option of filing electronically, or filing conventional paper documents with the clerk. Jack has never filed anything electronically before, and is cautious about trying this new method. He is about to submit his briefs for a motion for summary judgment that could resolve an important case. He had expressed his concern that once filed, the documents could become lost or altered. The court system accepts filing in the PDF/A format. Should Jack file electronically, or use paper? Explain your choice.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

  d. a laptop port.

Answer to Question 1

Jack should use electronic filing. Filing will save valuable time, allowing the filing to be done instantly from the office, without having to go to the courthouse. Once the document is filed, he will be able to verify that the documents have been filed by checking the court website. Because the documents are in PDF form, they can be viewed by anyone using universally-available software. A PDF file cannot be modified or altered by any recipient, so the content is secure from any changes to the content.
