all the case documents via our internal case management
system. It has made a major difference in the quickness with

In terms of the court and bar associations, what is
the relationship, particularly with the Philadelphia
Bar Association?
The bar associations are extremely important organizations, to
be certain, in moving forward with justice and an independent
judiciary. The Philadelphia Bar Association, of course, is a
leader in that endeavor, and the Association has tremendous
resources and has worked very closely with the bench –
the appellate bench, the Supreme Court, the intermediate
appellate courts and the Philadelphia judges. They have a
really excellent working relationship, that I think is critical.
