NH e-Collrt Project Overview

I'URPOSE:

'111C purpose

  • f the

NH e-Court Projl.'Ct is to increase efficiency in the NIlJB

by

imph:mcnting automated systems through re-cngin\."Cringof business processes resulting in reduced cost of operations and improved customer service. The project timclinc is five years starting July 2011. This document focuses on the NH e-Court Project which is the core initiative to automate all aspects

  • f

ca<>e

processing including electronic case filing. pa)ments.

  • signatures. notices. etc. A summar)' of other NH e.Court related projt.-cts is available on the Nil e-Court

Ilrojcct website at http:/tv.w.v.CQurts.state.nh.usfntte-<;ourt.projecVrelated=proiects,htm ORIGIN: The Nil c-Court Project was established as a result of the 2010 NHJH Innovation Commission initiative and Report which is available at: hnp:llw\\w.courts.state.nh.u~ci(),innovalioncommIFinaIReoort.pdf. 1"11 e-COURT PROJECT: The NHJB has groupc:d 122 of 158 casC' types into 18 common work

nO\\'S to be

automated in 18 phases ending in June 20 16. Small Claims is scheduled as our pilot case type for implementation during the summer

  • f20
  • 13. Primary

features arc electronic filing of case documents, electronic signatures and payments

  • f fines and fees and electronic

notices to parties. Small Claims is one of the highest volume case types in the court system. More than 14,000 small claims cases are filed in the Circuit Court each year. The NIUB recognizes the importance

  • f communication
  • n a project of this magnitude.

We are holding periodic public forums to give a project status and answer questions from interested parties. We also have included attorncys and statc agency stakeholders in our project definition and design sessions so that their needs are fully considered.

  • Fundin~:

NHJB requested S3.95 million in FY 12-13 and rt.'Ceived$1.95 million for the Nil e-Court

  • Project. The current funding may be insufficient to implement the Small Claims pilot or any significant

portion of the NH e-eourt I)roject. We have Tl-c('ntlylowered our $6.9 million additional Capital Appropriation request for FY 14-15 to $5.5 million due to a recent budget need rc-estimation. Annual

  • perating expenses 0[$783,000

are also required.

  • Case T)'pes

Arter Small Claims: Upon successful approval

  • f additional

funding by the legislature. the NHJB will leverage the infrastructure implemented for Small Claims and systematically add other ca.'iCtypes. Return on Investment (ROI) for this project will be greater for cach additional case type since much of the infrastructure and general design cost for the project is expcndl.-o up front in the first pilot phase.

  • MandatofY

filing: A short time after implementation

  • f each case type grouping. the use ofthe

electronic case processing system \•• 'i11he made mandatory for all filers for most case types. Other jurisdictions have seen little ROI for volumary electronic filing systems with only 15% of ca.'ieSfiled ek"Ctronically. For filers without computers, court lobby computers will be available for their usc. Nil e-COURT IIRO.JECT STATUS UPDATES: Quarterly progress reports to the Joint Fiscal Committee are published on the NHJB website at http://www.courts.stale.nh.uslnh-e-eourt-projectlguarterlyreports.htm. TIle Nil e- Court Project web site provides projl.'Ctbackground and status at: http://\\W\\'.courts.state.nh.uslnh-e-cQurt- projectlindex.htm.
