New Jersey Civil Court Mandatory E-filing for Some Starting in May of 2010
Law.com reports: E-filing in the Special Civil Part has been such a success on a voluntary basis that it's being made mandatory -- at first for frequent filers and at length for most court users.

Effective May 17, 2010, attorneys who filed more than 1,000 Special Civil Part suits in 2008 will have to start filing electronically through the Judiciary Electronic Filing/Imaging System.
The change will affect about 35 firms that account for three-quarters of the roughly 400,000 annual special civil filings, Acting Administrative Director of the Courts Glenn Grant said in a March 16 notice to the bar.
