Electronic Adjudication Management System (EAMS) blogs

LexisNexis recognized the achievements of the California Division of Workers' Compensation, saying it is "the only state workers' compensation agency that we know of that has embraced the open web and what blogging is all about. In 2010 Judge Colleen Casey posted a series of blogs, which were officially approved by the Division, to help lawyers, insurance companies, lien claimants, and others ... We salute Judge Casey, whose light-handed approach to explaining EAMS has helped stakeholders navigate this new e-filing system."
