VirtualCourthouse June 1996; Issue
1.4 First there was CivicLink, then there was JusticeLINK, and now there is
CourtLink. You will be hearing more and more about CourtLink in the near future.
But I saw it last week at an Electronic Access conference sponsored by the
Institute for Court Management-National Center for State Courts. CourtLink is a
court data base access program developed by Data West. They first developed a
database access system for all courts in the State of Washington.. They have
added to the online system 82 of 84 federal courts. You will soon see their
system on the East Coast. Hopefully in Prince George's County. CourtLink is a Windows-based service for court record access. Uses for Court
Link according to Data West literature and their demonstration at the Electronic
Access conference include the following: Background checks including, charges,
convictions, and repeat offense patterns. Litigation history including, types of
cases, judgments, case status, amounts of judgments, names of parties and their
representatives. Document discovery including, kinds of documents filed,
day-to-day listing of all documents. Case management including case event
schedule, court calendars, fees and payment records. Minimum system requirements to use CourtLink are: 486 or higher
microprocessor, Windows 3.1 or Windows 95, 4MB or more of memory, 3MB of
available hard disk space, a 3.5" high density or 5.25 high density disk drive,
a Hayes-compatible asynchronous modem or compatible modem pool. CourtLink can be reached for a demo disk or subscription at 1-800-774-7317 or
by E-mail at datawest@courtlink.com. JusticeLINK continues to receive an incredible amount of local, national and
international attention. On the local front representatives from the following
courts have come to the Prince George's County Courthouse to see a demonstration
or have expressed strong interest: Circuit Court for Baltimore County Circuit Court for Baltimore City Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County Superior Court for the District of Columbia Circuit Court for Fairfax County From around the Nation the following courts have come to the Circuit Court
for Prince George's County to see a demonstration or have expressed a strong
interest: Administrative Office of the Courts for New Jersey United States Office of Child Support United States Justice Department JEDDI Corporation United States Administrative Office of the Courts United States Bankruptcy Court for the District Court of Maryland for the Southern Division Denton County, Texas, Harris County (Houston), Texas Dade County (Miami), Florida Lexington, Kentucky Chesapeake, Virginia Sarasota, Florida Milwaukee, Wisconsin 1st Judicial Circuit of Illinois Nashville, Tennessee Sante Fe, New Mexico Kane County, Illinois Circuit Court Austin,Texas Medina, Ohio Municipal Court State Court Administrator of Montana 13th Judicial Circuit Court Tampa, Florida Ninth Circuit Court Kalamazoo, Michigan Williamson County, Illinois Circuit Court North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts 18th Judicial District Court Wichita, Kansas Florida Office of the State Court Administrator Bakersfield, California Municipal Court 2nd Circuit United States Court of Appeals Charlotte County, Florida Circuit Court United States District Court Southern District of New York Passaic County New Jersey Circuit Court Sanford, Florida Superior Court of Arizona Massillon, Ohio Municipal Court Billings, Montana City Court Michigan State Court Administrator Federal Judiciary U. S. Courts Missouri State Court Administrator Shelby County Memphis, Tennessee From around the globe: Australia Courts Italian Courts United Kingdom Courts Trinidad Courts Israel Courts Ontario Canada Courts San Juan Puerto Rico Courts It is obvious from this type of interest generated in just one year that the
time for electronic filing is NOW. Will you be a part of the development and
profit or will you wait because it costs too much time and money and end up
losing business to those who are willing to make the investment now? FUNNY PLEADINGS AND THINGS A court room story recently told by a retired judge now lawyer Paul Dorf. While cross-examining a scorned wife who had been berating her husband throughout the trial, the husband's lawyer asked the wife "please would you just tell the Judge what it is you want from my client." The wife responded " I just want him to leave me as he found me." The lawyer then asked "And how is that?" The wife yelled "Widowed!" © 1996 ... by Arthur M.
