Signatures on Court-Issued Electronic Documents

(a) Justice’s Signature. If an electronic document requires a justice’s signature, the document shall be deemed signed if it bears one of the following: (1) the typed symbol /s/ followed by the typed name of the justice (example: /s/ John Smith); or (2) a graphic representation of the justice’s signature. (b) Clerk’s Signature. If an electronic document requires the clerk’s signature, the document shall be deemed signed if it bears one of the following: (1) the typed symbol /s/ followed by the typed name of the clerk (example /s/ John Smith); or (2) a graphic representation of the clerk’s signature. Comment This rule does not itself create any requirement that orders, opinions or other documents contain a signature of the clerk or a justice.
