MEMORANDUM

TO: Circuit Court Judges
Family Court Judges
Masters-In-Equity
Probate Judges
Magistrates and Municipal Judges
RE: Use of Rubber Signature Stamps

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

It has come to my attention that some judges are using signature stamps to sign orders. This practice is not appropriate and should be discontinued. Signature stamps are subject to being used by unauthorized persons and the validity of any order signed with a stamp can be questioned. Judges should personally sign all orders.

 

Sincerely,
