ALN Rule Set Update Details SEPTEMBER 1, 2021

Due to the ever-changing COVID-19 situation and emergency orders being issued and revised on a

continuous basis, it is highly recommended that each deadline and the applicability of any potential

extension or tolling under emergency orders be confirmed on a case-by-case basis, ideally through

stipulation with counsel in writing and confirmation with the specific judicial department if possible. As a

general rule, we have decided to leave the standard rules-based deadlines in place in an effort to provide

attorneys with the most conservative deadline and since the scope of the emergency orders may be more

limited and/or subject to differing legal interpretations.

For any deadlines relating to court filings (whether physical delivery, electronic, or otherwise), delivery

of courtesy copies, tentative rulings and submittal protocols, e-service requirements, and remote session

protocols, please confirm with the specific judicial department as to what the requirements are as the

orders and procedures are continuously changing.

In an effort to assist our users, we have been compiling these emergency orders on our website on a daily

basis for select jurisdictions: https://www.alncorp.com/court-emergency-orders/

COVID-19 ADVISORY

We are closely monitoring the evolving court rules situation due to COVID-19 and its potential impact on our

court rules service. Because of the rapidly changing updates, we cannot immediately change the court rules

dates and deadlines due to the dynamics of the various court orders. We have already seen some judges update

their procedures multiple times in one week. We are also concerned with the exact applicability of the various

rule changes and deadline extensions to each case, as the Courts and Judges have wide discretion on how to deal

with this emergency situation and alter the deadlines in a specific case.

Our policy has always been two-fold. One, interpret rules conservatively, and two, do not practice law for our

clients.

This emergency circumstance has us concerned on both fronts. Until things settle down, and the courts are more

exact on the applicability of the new “temporary rules,” we think the most conservative approach is to leave the

deadlines as currently mandated by statute and the usual rules and to let our clients decide on a case by case

basis when the new changed deadlines should be applied, if at all. Additionally, some of the new orders provide

exceptions stated for certain types of cases that only the lawyer on the particular matter can actually determine

as to whether the case falls under the exception. We have also heard from many of our clients that they are

interpreting some of the orders differently from each other. Therefore, we are reticent to make a legal

determination, and thus be practicing law, until the situation settles down a bit and the courts clarify things.

As always, and more importantly now than ever, it is important that the attorneys and the legal assistants

monitor each of their cases and communicate directly with the Court and the Clerk, where appropriate, to know

what exactly is happening in their cases (whether it is a determination that should be made as to a general court

order applying, a temporary judge’s procedure that should be followed, and obviously any notices that are

received from the Court for the particular case). Due to the ever-changing rules landscape, all attorneys are

urged to check with the specific Court and Judge for the latest updates and to watch for any case-specific

notices from the Court; however, the following two websites regarding the various federal courts and state

courts are a good resource to review:

United States Federal Courts: https://www.uscourts.gov/about-federal-courts/court-website-links/court-

orders-and-updates-during-covid19-pandemic

National Center for State Courts: https://www.ncsc.org/Newsroom/Public-health-emergency.aspx

There are ways to manually adjust the deadlines in eDockets to reflect these rules changes. If you need any help

with making those changes, please contact our support team at [email protected] and cc

[email protected].

We understand that this is an extremely stressful time and have implemented policies that allow us to remain

fully operational, including our entire team working remotely, but to not sacrifice the level of service that our

clients have come to expect. We will continue to monitor the courts and make adjustments to our rules and the

above position statement as the situation warrants. Now more than ever, we will need your help to navigate this

situation together. If you have any suggestions or ideas on additional ways that we can support you, please let

us know. The entire American LegalNet team stands ready to assist you in any way that we can. In the

meantime, we will continue to monitor the Courts and the Court Rules in this rapidly evolving situation, and we

will be in touch as appropriate.
