More than half of Florida lawyers are still not electronically filing their court documents in the preferred format, while pro se parties, who are allowed to do paper filing, are doing some electronic filing in a variety of case types, according to the latest figures from the Florida Courts E-Filing Authority.

The authority’s board, which oversees the court system’s statewide electronic filing Portal, got a report on September filing statistics. Those showed filings were fairly steady although lower than August, and less than record high numbers from last May and June.

“We are getting into the period where our numbers will be down a little bit because of the holidays,” said Carolyn Weber, Portal program manager.
