JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Judiciary received a “Top 10 Court
Technology Solutions Award” during the National Association for Court
Management’s (NACM) annual conference, held in partnership with the
International Association for Court Administration, in Washington, D.C., in
July. The awards were presented to recognize the best use of technology to
improve court services and access to the public in 2017.
The Missouri Judiciary ranked third among the top 10 courts – coming in
behind the Arizona Administrative Office of the Courts and the Dubai
Commercial Court – for its court automation solutions, including: Show-Me
Courts, Track This Case, Pay By Web, eFiling, and the mobile optimization
of the Missouri Courts website.
“It’s an incredible honor to be acknowledged by the judging panel selected
by the Joint Technology Committee to evaluate technology solutions being
implemented by courts around the world,” said Gary Lynch, a judge on the
Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District, and chair of the Missouri
Court Automation Committee – a statutory committee that oversees the
state’s court technology systems.
The 2017 submissions were judged on the following measures: interactive
capabilities, access to public records, user interface, optimization for
mobile services, accessibility and the “cool” factor.
“The Missouri Judiciary is committed to delivering exceptional service to
the courts of Missouri, enhancing the administration of justice and
improving public access,” explained Patrick Brooks, director of the
information technology services division of the state courts
administrator’s office, adding that each technology solution for which
Missouri received accolades was designed with Missouri courts and citizens
in mind, with the goal of providing a robust offering of intuitive and
reliable automated systems. “Leveraging innovative technology to facilitate
court business and communication is critical for Missouri courts to operate
more efficiently and effectively.”
The Joint Technology Committee is made up of members from NACM – the
world’s largest organization of court management professionals – along with
the Conference of State Court Administrators and the National Center for
State Courts. To learn more about the award criteria or to view a list of
