U.S. 5th Circuit Attorney Toolbox

Recently, Lyle Cayce—the indefatigable clerk of the U.S. 5th Circuit—has implemented more tech tools to make lawyers’ practice in that court easier: a new “Attorney Toolbox” feature added to the court’s CM/ECF system. You can read his announcement and description of its features by following this link. Here’s his intro:

I write to make sure that BAFFC[*] members know that we have created a new “Attorney Toolbox” you can access by clicking on the link prominently displayed on the CM/ECF landing page. This Toolbox will eventually serve as the location for case related programs now found under our “Utilities Tab,” including the EROA download, brief template, and Quality Control (QC) programs. But the Toolbox also contains two features long requested by BAFFC members — a record excerpt creation tool for appellants, and hyperlinks in pleadings.
