Almost any small court could use the approach. To improve on the Michigan idea, email software can be used to automate several tasks. A court filing system can be built around an email system that accepts attached documents, provides confirmation of receipt and forwards copies of the filing to the judge and opposing parties.

Outlook provides the necessary tools for a small scale court filing system.
The comprehensive messaging capabilities in Outlook were not designed to serve as a filing system. But adapting the capabilities to serve court needs is simple. Because this system involves no programming, any court with the software can implement it. Admittedly, there are flaws in this approach, relative to a well-funded program, and remaining issues to resolve. Courts would still derive sufficient benefit from the system that they should implement it.
