[blindlaw] Judge making changes to Orders

[Kendrick Kennedy]

List Mates,



Here in Mississippi, the state court is moving to an electronic filing
system. This filing system is just like the federal system used by the
Federal Courts. Attorneys can submit proposed orders in court and if the
judge would like the order changed the attorney has access to a computer to
make changes.



The problem is there is a judge who writes on my Orders and submits the
document to Mississippi Electronic Court System without giving me an
opportunity to make the changes.  I have a legal assistant who attends
court with me and a great support staff in my office. First, I believe this
reflects poorly on my work and is unprofessional. Second, the judge thinks
she is helping me by writing on the orders and submitting the document but
she is NOT. Finally, as we all know our reputations as attorneys are based
on our work and she’s killing my reputation as a competent attorney.



Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should handle this problem?
