Carroll County, AR Going Online
December 06, 2013 posted by Steve Brownstein
Circuit Judge Kent Crow announced that the Carroll County Circuit Court will be going online with the Arkansas Court Automation Program.
The court will begin using the Contexte Case Management System from Xerox, a web-based system chosen and adopted by the Arkansas Supreme Court.
The system is capable of managing all aspects of court cases, including judge assignments, parties, violations, docketing, hearings and accounting. All court personnel are currently undergoing training on the new system, and according to Crow, this system will streamline communication between court offices.
Crow said that this service is the cornerstone for sharing complete, accurate and timely court information with other justice agencies and the public. He said the Contexte system includes a public access module, called Court Connect, which will allow the public and the media to view records online.
The Arkansas Supreme Court began the program in 2002 and has been working to provide technological services to the state's courts and make court information available to the public.
The Supreme Court plans to provide statewide jury and case management to all Arkansas courts and eventually provide attorneys with the ability to file matters online.
Crow said the case management software is the first step in providing better service and timely information to the people of Carroll County.
