After the Supreme Court announced that its new electronic filing system will begin operation on November 13, 2017, Fix the Court executive director Gabe Roth released the following statement:

Most federal appeals courts have required electronic filing for years, so I’m pleased the Supreme Court has finally joined its institutional counterparts by implementing this policy. I’m confident the justices will find it to be a positive step toward modernity, and I hope it leads to others, such as live audio for oral arguments and a software-based conflict check system.
