Are the standards regarding files applicable to a courts internal file management?
No, not necessarily. The file naming and management standards apply to files that are publicly distributed, in order to provide a means for their recipients law professionals, legal publishers or other interested persons to receive and manage these files according to known and accepted protocols. Internally, courts might choose to apply any file naming and management method that best fits their needs. For instance, when a minor correction must be brought to a judgment before it has been publicly distributed, the file may be corrected without being named differently.
