A MESSAGE FROM THE COURT ADMINISTRATOR Steven M. Larimore Court Administrator • Clerk of Court “Chasing Perfection…Not Paper!” F or the past few years, our motto in the Clerk’s Office of the Southern District of Florida has been “Chase Perfection, Catch Excellence.” This is a variation of legendary football coach Vince Lombardi’s mantra. 1 As I read through this annual report, however, it occurs to me that perhaps we should change that to “Chasing Perfection, Not Paper!” Virtually all of our highlights over the past year either directly or indirectly involved minimizing paper and transitioning away from traditional paper processes. Even some of our current paperless processes, such as microfiche and microfilm, are giving way to newer and more sophisticated digital processes. We are not, of course, on an anti-paper crusade simply for the sake of saving trees. Rather, our quest for improved efficiency and cost savings drives these initiatives. My hat is off to the creative men and women of the Clerk’s Office who had the foresight to envision the benefits of these innovations. Their hard work made it happen. In the end, maybe we did get it right: We are catching excellence… just not paper. 1 “[W]e are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. [We are] not remotely interested in just being good.” Carlson, Chuck: Game of My Life: Memorable Stories of Packers Football (2004), p. 149. 23
