The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) is asking contractors for proposals to determine what it would take to implement a statewide e-filing system, the Nashville Post reports. The AOC is looking for someone to study the current state of court filing systems in Tennessee and to “provide comprehensive recommendations to move Tennessee courts to a unified e-filing system.” The contractor would have three months to conduct walk-throughs and interviews with 10-15 court clerks and speak with stakeholders, including lawyers. They’d also be asked to evaluate two and four e-filing providers and to create a “roadmap” to setting up a system. According to the request for proposal, “there are 11 courts in Tennessee that are utilizing e-filing systems and 20 additional courts that have been approved for implementation of an e-filing system. There are over 300 courts in the state.” The request for proposals will close early next month.
