The majority of Southern District Courts allow either electronic filing or paper filing. A small number of
these courts permit only
electronic filing. Likewise, a small number of courts only permit paper
form filings. The trend however is clear: all
Southern District Courts will eventually accept only an approved electronic filing
format and will probably continue to accept diskettes at the
clerk's office rather than requiring only online submission. The goal adopted by the
Southern District seems to require the elimination of paper documents by 2010.
Daily operation and administration procedures for New
York Bankruptcy Courts are determined by the Administrative Office of US
Courts. The judicial power of Judges is determined by Federal Law, which
is derived primarily from the US Constitution and the US Code.
Additional clarification of judicial power is provided by court
decisions, Federal rules, and Local Rules.
