In 1996 Judge Arthur M. Monty Ahalt as the Chairman of the Courts Technology began to publish VirtualCourthouse in the Prince George’s County, Maryland Bar Association monthly newsletter in order to motivate the court and the bar to adopt technology and the Internet to better enable the court to meet the needs of litigants in a more efficient manner. In 1999 at the end of his term, Judge Ahalt retired and participated in the formation of JusticeLink an internet electronic court filing startup. In 2001 he founded VirtualCourthouse.com. Judge Ahalt continued to publish articles for various organizations. Those articles are collected here and continue to be added to by Judge Ahalt and selected contributors.
