Mission |
| The purpose of the Circuit Court Technology Program is to seek out opportunities that lend themselves to the effective use of technology in the court. A proposed project qualifies for consideration only if the derived benefits are judged to provide an acceptable positive return in excess of the investment in resources needed to implement and support the project. Applying this criteria to project selection on a consistent basis results in continual improvement in the efficiency of the Court. |
