Ocourts

iCourt is a software application designed specifically for virtual, audio/visual court sessions, including arraignment hearings, first appearance hearings, motion hearings and trials. The application facilitates encrypted interactions between citizens and court staff, including the solicitor, public defender, probation officer, clerks, interpreter and the judge. The citizen log-in process directs cases to designated staff members based upon answers to pre-determined questions. Acknowledgment of Rights forms, probation documents, community service agreements and reset notices are examples of forms that can be electronically signed by citizens through the iCourt system. Court staff has complete flexibility to internally transfer cases, invite staff into ongoing proceedings and initiate private video calls with one another during hearings.

The blueprints of our core court solution account for a holistic view of the justice process. Equipping each court with the components they need, whether it is an automated workflow, eFiling or eBench capability, or electronic records for appeals, the solution respects the unique challenges and needs of different court types and follows in step with the widely-adaptable Component Model. Also able to integrate with any case management systems or external state agencies, this highly configurable approach not only meets the individual requisites of various case types but also transcends case-type lines by allowing one type of court to seamlessly work with another, such as when a probate court needs to work with the juvenile court. With a high-level introduction to our component-model methodology, let’s now take a closer look at the digital transformation’s specific advantages to your court type and the overflowing advances to the entire justice community.
