Electronic Document Filing
Effective immediately, the State Ethics Commission’s Legal Division is adopting a new form scheduling order and implementing a pilot e-filing program for adjudicatory proceedings. These changes are intended to eliminate delays and increase schedule predictability, as well as to make it easier for parties to file legal papers with the Commission. Under the new scheduling procedure, an order establishing dates for the respondent’s answer, for serving discovery requests and responses, for filing and briefing dispositive motions, and for hearing-related filings, will be drafted by the Legal Division and sent to the parties as soon as an order to show cause has been filed pursuant to G.L. c. 268A § 4 and 930 CMR § 1.01(5). The Legal Division has also developed a pilot program that will permit parties who have registered with the Commission to file documents electronically. Participation in this program is entirely voluntary. The Ethics Commission Form Scheduling Order and the Electronic Case Filing Administrative Procedures Manual are available under the link, "Electronic Document Filing." Comments may be sent to:
State Ethics Commission One Ashburton Place, Room 619 Boston MA 02108 Attn: Deirdre Roney, General Counsel or by telephone at (617) 371-9500. |
