The
criminal component of CJIS for Courts tracks any type of criminal
case handled by the court from initiation to disposition. All information
unique to the case is recorded here. This includes the defendant's
name, aliases and legal status, charges, bond and surety/depositor
data, defense attorney and prosecutor, judge, past and future scheduled
events, evidence and exhibits, witnesses, dispositions, sentences
and appeals information. On inquiry, the system summarizes the activity
for each case by displaying the status of the case, the date and
nature of the last event in the case, and the date and nature of
the next scheduled event, and the number of defendants.
CJIS
Criminal Case Management Components:
Defendant
Tracking
CJIS for Courts can track multiple defendants in a case. Each defendant
is assigned a unique person I.D. under which complete information
such as physical descriptors, aliases, prior arrests and/or convictions,
associates, addresses, etc., is tracked. The person I.D. provides
a single file on each person, showing all of his or her activity
with the court. Summaries of all activity for the person are generated
automatically by CJIS. A user can see at a glance the total number
of active and disposed cases, the number of active warrants, monies
due, next scheduled payment amount and date, and the status of the
defendant in the overall system of justice.
Docketing/Scheduling
All past and future scheduled events are recorded in CJIS for Courts.
Events can be sorted by courtroom, judge, date, and/or range of
dates. Additionally, hard copy calendars can be produced in user-defined
formats.
Warrant
Generation
Warrants and their status can be tracked in CJIS for Courts. Warrant
records can be created automatically based on information entered
for the criminal case. A hard copy of the warrant can be generated
and directed to a printer within the agency or at another agency.

Speedy
Trial Date Calculation
CJIS for Courts can track a speedy trial date for a defendant. An
excluded time record accounts for events and associated time intervals
that affect the speedy trial date. The system automatically recalculates
the maximum trial date, after considering excluded time.
Collections
Tracking
CJIS for Courts includes a collections subsystem that tracks all
monies due and paid from an individual and the distribution of the
money among the designated funds. The system automatically maintains
totals for monies owed by a person across all of his or her cases.
A forms generator can produce receipts, checks and collection letters.
