Riverside Superior Court will deploy a new case-management system to manage juvenile cases on July 5.
The system will include juvenile justice (delinquency), dependency and appeals.
Riverside selected Journal Technologies’ eCourt case-management system to replace an outdated system that was nearing the end of its useful life, the court said in a press release.
The funds used were specifically for automation, the court said.
The court launched eCourt for probate cases in December, 2017; for family law cases in August, 2018; and for civil cases in 2020. eFiling was implemented for civil cases in 2021.
“The design and implementation of eCourt for juvenile is a significant enterprise, linking business processes with system architecture, involving court staff from many disciplines such as interpreters, records, fiscal, enhanced collections, legal, court technology, appeals and juvenile operations,” the court said. “This innovative system design is specific to the case type of juvenile, thus allowing the more efficient data retrieval and streamlined procedures to ensure the highest quality of justice and public service.”
Information on existing juvenile cases will be converted from the current legacy system to maintain the continuity of court records.
The implementation of new case management systems for the remaining litigation areas of criminal and traffic will continue over the next 18 months.
