Information Technology (IT) systems help members of a community collaborative system store, access and analyze data. They can also be integrated with existing case management systems.
Technology as an Alternative to Civil Fines
Hosted in partnership with the Price of Justice initiative, this webinar showcases the Center for Court Innovation’s Civil Alternatives project and a new e-learning module that was developed and launched in New York City as part of the 2017 Criminal Justice Reform Act. This law created the opportunity for individuals to resolve their low-level summonses by completing community service instead of paying a fine. This is done through the e-learning module; an hour of experiential learning.
Utilizing Technology for Remote Hearings During the Pandemic
This interactive webinar will assist courts in understanding the use of Zoom for conducting remote hearings from a judicial perspective. Judicial presenters will offer insight on considerations from the bench and the changes that were implemented to adapt in-person hearings to a virtual environment. Presenters will offer their own personal perspectives from both a level of comfort with technology and one of apprehension. Participants will learn how forms and processes have changed to accommodate remote hearings and how stakeholders participated in the development of these changes.
