Looking back over the past week, I have to say that I am not very happy with Marion County. Four cases I have in the system down there have moved with a pace that makes glacial seem too speedy. Yes, it is the largest court system in the state and I cut them some slack for that. Still, it annoys the clients and it annoys me that I cannot tell them anything other it is being processed in the courts and out of my hands. Maybe I ought to be gratified that clients think I have such influence in the courts and in the clerk's office. The truth that I have no more influence than anyone else is probably good for the ego.
A tip for anyone dealing with the court staff or clerks or even any office staff: do not annoy them unnecessarily. They have the means to subtly make your life hell.
So what is the news or am I just being a grump this early in the morning. The news is this notice that came in the mail and which I did not notice posted on the Marion County Clerk website:
The Marion County Clerk s Office is currently requesting that all attorneys submitting documents to be delivered via certified mail include the following:Why not post this also on their website?
•a completed certified mail card, ensuring the Clerk s Office address has been placed on the return portion of the mail card
• a completed certified mail receipt
• an addressed envelope
As of Tuesday, February 17, 2004, any submission omitting any part of these criteria will be returned to the attorney for completion.
