We have great ideas!

The inCounter open source electronic filing demonstration system is not currently available.  We are currently working to restore the server.  Please check back.

CTC9 is coming in September, 2005 in Seattle, Washington.  Click [here] to access the conference website.

E-Courts 2004 was a big success with over 550 persons attending in December, 2004.  Click [here] to access both the 2004 and 2002 conference websites containing presentations and other materials.  Please plan to be with us again in 2006.

CTC8 has come and gone!

Biometrics and the Courts. 2002 SJI funding allowed us to develop a reference website on biometric technology. Because of the increasing need for better identification and security, biometrics will become important to courts in the future. This new CTL website provides much of the basic information you need to understand these new technologies. While the site is incomplete, we will be adding to it in the future

Privacy and Public Access is one of the most important subjects in court administration and technology today. This site is dedicated to collecting and and disseminating information about policies and studies concerning electronic access to public court records.

Court Technology Vendors Listing is the single best place to shop online and build your RFP mailing list.

The Distance Learning Center initiative with the Institute for Court Management (ICM) is a fun and innovative way to train court staff at minimal expense via the Internet. In October, 2000 the CTL held the first web class: CTL E-Filing Class Web Page.

The NCSC has been a leader in the development and promotion of Electronic Document Filing in Courts. One primary resource is A Guidebook for Electronic Court Filing that was published in 1998. Many other resources can be found on the TIES XML/JEDDI web pages.

eXtensible Markup Language or XML is the future for E-filing and legal documents. The NCSC did some research work early to identify issues and possible solutions that were compiled in an XML Project Draft Paper. A listing of useful XML resources can be found by clicking [here].

Case Management system development and education have been the backbone of the CTL project since it's inception. Case Management Systems provides background and foundation for understanding how case management systems should work. The NCSC is now working on Case Management Functional Standards to guide courts in the development and acquisition projects.

In November, 2000, the Court Technology Laboratory along with it's partner project, the Technology Information Service were presented the Howell Heflin outstanding project award by the State Justice Institute. We provide a wide range of educational programs in both our Williamsburg, Virginia Education and Technology Center or at your court or association location. If you would like to learn more about our programs please give us a call at 757-259-1839 or e-mail us at jmcmillan@ncsc.dni.us
