Use of eJuror Rises, and New Online Directory Aids Access-US Courts

With three-quarters of all U.S. District Courts now allowing prospective jurors to fill out forms online, the U.S. Courts website has eased user access by creating a national directory of courts participating in the eJuror program.

 

Seventy-two of the nation’s 94 district courts have adopted eJuror, up from 46 in February 2011. The system was introduced in late 2008 to simplify the process for prospective jurors, and to save federal courts money by reducing postage costs and paperwork associated with the jury process.

 

Under eJuror, potential jurors can avoid the mail system, responding to questionnaire forms and summons online. They also can update personal information, check when they need to report for jury service, submit a request to be excused, or to receive a deferral, and select an alternative time to serve. The system can be used from any location, 24 hours a day.

 

Participating courts usually have an eJuror link prominently placed on their web sites. To increase convenience, a national directory has been added to the U.S. Courts website. Site visitors who click on the Jury Service page can quickly access a national directory of jury information pages for all 94 federal district courts. The directory provides additional links to eJuror pages for the 72 participating courts, which enables prospective jurors to log directly into the system.

 

Jury candidates may also use the traditional paper process if they choose.

 

More information about eJuror is available in this video.

How I Went From 1,000 Emails to Inbox Zero (and Stayed There) with Mailstrom-LifeHacker

BY:  Adam Dachis

Inbox zero: it’s the impossible dream that gets further and further away as you let your emails pile up, but you don’t have to get stuck with the clutter. Thanks to an awesome webapp called Mailstrom, I finally got my thousand-email inbox under control in an hour. Here’s how.

Inbox zero is a lofty and often unachievable dream for most, and for a long time I just assumed that piles of email would rule my life. Almost by accident, I came across a webapp calledMailstrom and, along with other options, decided to give it a try. After playing around with it for an hour, I noticed something strange: my inbox was virtually empty.

HOWEVER:

Can I connect my email account using POP?

Sorry, Mailstrom does all of it’s work using IMAP. To use Mailstrom, your email provider must support IMAP. This means we cannot work with hotmail.com, verizon.net, and comcast.net email accounts. We are sorry about this technical limitation.

Can I clean up my POP accounts anyway?

Sure, here’s one way you can clean up a POP account. First, sign up for a free Gmail account. Go to Settings, and go to the “Accounts and Import” tab. In the section titled “Check mail from other accounts (using POP3)”, add your other email account, and make sure to uncheck “Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server” and “Archive incoming messages”. Now connect your new Gmail account to Mailstrom, and start cleaning up those old messages!

Timeslips in the Cloud by CompuCloud Technologies

When you wait forever for something and, finally, you must leave it behind, it is disconcerting to find what you wished has happened, if belatedly.  Of course, I’m referring to Mac users who labored along with an orphaned TimeSlips for more than nine (9) years before being totally abandoned; i.e., there would never be a Mac version again.

To now find a cloud version of TimeSlips, usable by Mac, is like the worst aspects of meeting an old flame at your high school reunion.  Nothing is now as it was then.  Its awkward.

Its also expensive.  For those of us who held out as long as we could before moving to less costly solutions (e.g., Billings), $40.00 per person per month for the cloud version seems hopelessly priced back in the ’70′s.

There is no demo version and, as with all things nostalgic, “buyer beware”.

P.S. Credit (or blame) for letting us know our old flame was back goers to ”Randy Singer (MacAttorney)” <macattorney@gmail.com> Feb 02 07:25PM -0800
