Doesn't explain why they'd never get with the time and accept electronic submissions, which are probably easier on their end too.

  Federal courts accept (and often have rules requiring-by-default, for most purpose) electronic submission.

    And you didn’t feel the need to mention that in your reply to the parent comment, that introduced this assumption that I was building off of?

      Electronic submission still involves uploading a PDF, which has to follow the court's rules for layout of printed pages. It just means it the file gets directly added into the case's docket, rather than having to be manually scanned in by the clerks' office.

        You'd think by using electronic submission they'd go with machine readable format.
        • dragonwriter 4y ago
          That would be a lot more work (because of the need to accept exceptional paper submissions, and get them into the required format) and cost for both the courts and every law office that might have need to file in federal court, for potentially very little benefit, since the processes filings support are human processes for the foreseeable future, independently of the data format.
