  • Local Governance & Public Service

    Supports

    Supports modernizing the Dukes County Probate and Family Court: e-filing and a paperless future, making scanned case records available to the public and attorneys, and adding registry staff.

    “I'm advocating for e-filing and eventually a paperless future. We scan every paper now, every pleading. I'm trying to advocate for having those scanned images available to the public, and/or counsel. It alleviates the stress on the registry staff. I'm advocating for more staffing in my office as well.”

    “Looking forward, I plan on advocating for E-filing and a paperless future, having scanned images from specific case files available to the public and attorneys and a lawyer for the day program.”
