Plans are under way to roll out a new case management system for the state’s courts, moving away from paper-based to electronic processes and joining up all district and appeals courts under the same system.
Currently, 13 counties in the state, including Tulsa and Oklahoma counties, use one case management system; 64 other counties use another.
Officials say the state has outgrown the old systems.
Mike Evans, administrative director of the courts said, “Our prime focus is a unified system across all 77 counties.”
An integrated system will give the public remote access to electronic case files and court documents.
Officials hope to have the system complete and all state trial courts online within the next five years.
