applications in that numerous types of court documents, including, but not limited to civil, criminal, family and probate may be accessed and completed through wireless communication. 3. Describe how the project uses technology to reduce overall costs to the Justice System. What is the estimated cost savings? What agency/budget will see the cost reduction? Presently all judicial partners spend a significant amount of time copying paper documents for distribution to the other judicial partners as well as manually filing the documents that are received. This technology project, through the distribution of E-discovery and file sharing software, will allow the different judicial partners to retrieve their client files, court cases, etc., through their laptops and tablets while in the courtrooms and corridors and reduce the need for paper or hard copies. It will save customers, taxpaying constituents, and other judicial partners by reductions in their budgets for office supplies and expenses (paper, postage, copying costs) as well as create more efficient use of staff time based on the significant amount of time utilized to perform these functions. The electronic paperless technology will also improve data accuracy caused by human error thus reduce the cost and staff time of repetitive work, amending and supplementing documentation and allowing for a more time-efficient staff. The estimated costs savings could potentially be hundreds of dollars per agency per month. Agencies or partners who will notice reduced costs include all the judicial partners: Judge and judicial staff, court administration, Department of Corrections, county attorney’s office, public defenders, law enforcement agencies, private attorneys and city attorneys. 4. Describe how the project uses technology to increase efficiencies to the Justice System. Please quantify the estimated impact of efficiencies through measurable data such as employee hours saved or improved data accuracy.
