I am an attorney and my clerk's office has announced that they will not accept digital signatures. Has anyone encountered a similar problem or have suggestions on how to convince the court to accept the signatures?

Give them a copy of the relevant statute. The ESIGN Act is a federal law passed in 2000. It grants legal recognition to electronic signatures and records if all parties to a contract choose to use electronic documents and to sign them electronically. ... No contract, signature, or record shall be denied legal effect solely because it is in electronic form.
