The Jacksonville Bankruptcy Bar Association held its monthly meeting last week at the Radisson, drawing a larger than normal crowd to hear how electronic case filing will replace the current National Integrated Bankruptcy System.
Terry Miller, chief duty clerk of the Bankruptcy Court of the Middle District of Florida, and Mike Shadburn, deputy in charge of the Jacksonville division of the Middle District of Florida Bankruptcy Court, gave demonstrations on how the new system works.
The new technology, which will operate on a Tampa-based server, will not incur any additional costs for users.
The State will begin using the program when the newest version is released in late June. Benefits of the system include reduced storage costs, increased document security, 24-hour access to court case files and round-the-clock filing via the Internet.
