Courtesy copies, Chambers copies, Judge copies
Posted: Thu Dec 18, 2008 12:11 pm
OK, I have spent at least 15 minutes trying to make sense of the old
thread and this is not helping me yet. Sorry but I am being
vocab-challenged here.
The copy you send in after ECF filing -- what is that one called? (I
have always mailed to to the court with the word BK FILING on the top
of my address).
The copy you send to judge specifically -- what is that one called?
(I mail these usually too -- write DIVISION XX on top -- does that
even work?)
Is there any other copy? Seriously this is not a new problem for me
know there are other newer attorneys here, someone please start at
Kindergarten level with these copies. I think I get confused when I
have had this explained in the past because everyone's explanations
start with "So before you used to do this..." and since I never
practiced pre-ECF, that just makes my head spin.

"Exactly."
