Is Paperless Working?

A benefit of going "paperless" is that we are now able to provide all of my office’s discovery via online access instead of the traditional "file" copy that has been used for the past thousand years. You may think this isn’t a big deal, but for government to do anything "cutting edge" is a bit unusual. While we have all adjusted to getting our banking information online, buying our airline tickets online, getting much of our news online and so on, we believe that we are the first prosecution office in the country to provide all discovery material online. But we aren't interested in doing it because it is "cool" but because it is a more efficient and  faster way of meeting our responsibilities in providing discovery in criminal matters.
