From the New Jersey Law Journal, on September 9, 1982, a new computer system was set up in Trenton, called CAMIS, to file and track cases in Superior Court. Attorneys no longer needed to file duplicate copies of pleadings. One copy of a motion or pleading could be filed, for all. In addition, a statewide docket number made it easy to identify the case.
Yes. You read the date correctly: 1982. In some ways, we have come a long way since that time. In others, like e-filing in state courts, we have a long way to go. For example, there are many courts in California and New York that still do not even accept fax filing. Shame on us when we look at Georgia.
