Report of the National Task Force on Court Automation and Integration

Efforts by courts to automate and integrate information systems internally and throughout the justice system are discussed. Reasons to automate and integrate include cost savings, increased efficiency, elimination of redundant data entry, improved decision making, and increased public safety. Forces driving integration include increased pressure to improve service with existing resources, legislation requiring information sharing, demand for information not historically compiled by courts, and technological advances. Barriers to integration include limited resources, resistance to change, complex justice processes, fear of reduced service, distrust, hesitancy to rely on outside staff, current system incompatibility, disagreements over data ownership, and lack of standards, peer networks, successful system documentation, and off-the-shelf solutions.
