Thirty years ago, the Impact detailed a number of initiatives to modernize filing and record access. Jeff Apperson, Clerk of the Western District of Kentucky, pens an article challenging the readers to imagine an office without files. The issue discusses many local technology initiatives including UNISYS BANCAP ("Bankruptcy Court Automation Project"), used for docketing in the Southern District of Florida; PC BANCAP, used in the Northern District of Mississippi; and a new version of NIBS ("National Interim Bankruptcy System"); used in the Middle District of Florida and 60 other bankruptcy courts; that allowed for an "on-line" inquiry of case information. The issue also mentions that the District of Massachusetts has implemented PACER, which worked with BANCAP and allowed the public to access case information 24 hours a day by dialing into the court's computer.
