Ind. Courts - Indiana Supreme Court Hires Director of Appellate Court Technology

A press release today announces that:

The Indiana Supreme Court has named Robert Rath as the first-ever Director of Appellate Court Technology. * * *

As Director of Appellate Court Technology, Rath will play a crucial role in developing a stronger vision for how the Court utilizes technology. Rath will review Court processes and identify how changing technology may improve Court functions and services. * * *

The National Center for State Courts (NCSC) recommended Indiana hire an Appellate Court IT Director. * * *

Rath earned his law degree from Indiana University School of Law – Indianapolis and business degrees from Indiana University Kelley School of Business – Bloomington and Indiana Wesleyan University.

In addition, the Indiana Court of Appeals is advertising for "a Director of Technology to provide the Court of Appeals an interface with the Indiana Supreme Court’s Director of Appellate Court Technology."

The ILB intends to dig out its old wish lists of improvements the Courts can make for the beneifit of the legal community and the general public. First on the list may be RSS feeds. Second may be a user-friendly appellate docket. Thoughts?
