The AJEI Summit, our Section's Presence There, and a Presentation on Some Features Our Attorneys Want from E-Filing Technology
As you know, the Florida Bar Appellate Practice Section, law firms and practitioners around the State of Florida sponsored in various forms the American Bar Association's Appellate Judges Institute Summit [AJEIS] in November, which our own Judge Martha Warner chaired this past year. The ABA's Appellate Judges Conference and Florida's Appellate Judges Conference have, for years, produced outstanding educational programs for our appellate judges, state and federal. The State Justice Institute was the AJEIS's primary source of education funding, and that was itself essentially defunded by the federal government. The Appellate Judges Conference decided to reinvigorate its educational efforts by establishing the Appellate Judges Education Institute (AJEI), as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, housed at the SMU Dedman School of Law, which staffs the AJEI pro bono.
