NotSoGoodAtProSe Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 The Plaintiff attorney keeps signing with /s/ instead of his signature, so far he has signed most of the Certificate of Service and court document with this kind of thing instead of his signature. Can anyone explain this?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jq26 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 When you efile documents, you don't send the original. They put that on the document to represent signature, then keep the signed copy on file.I saw it last summer in the context of bankruptcy filings in federal court through the PACER system. I presume state courts have a similar procedure to expedite the litigation process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recovering Attorney Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Some are just sloppy, too, but figure a /s/ has just as much meaning as a signature that looks like a squashed fly. Don't worry about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
