Social media and the justice system
Posted by Cecily Waters on March 15, 2012 - 2:15 PM |
More and more judicial branches are joining the world of social media. The Connecticut and Rhode Island Judicial Branches are just a few of many court systems that have recently joined Twitter to keep people informed about the inner workings of the justice process. By using social media sites, courts can broaden their reach and are able to easily distribute information about closings, delays, inclement weather, and revised court procedures.
However, it is becoming apparent that social media can also have a detrimental effect on the justice system. Several court systems have issued warnings to judges, jurors, and other court personnel on the hazards of oversharing and friending/following people involved on related cases. The state of California has even gone so far as to ban jurors from tweeting, using Facebook and even the internet. Arizona, on the other hand, has taken a different approach and is currently considering if certain court rules and processes should be changed to account for the growth of social media.

Arizona's largest courthouse opens with extensive CourtSight system
Posted by Maddie Alexander on February 21, 2012 - 9:41 AM |
Maricopa County will open the largest courthouse in the state of Arizona tomorrow, featuring a plethora of CourtSight Suite options.
Patrons of the new Maricopa County Court Tower will utilize DocketCall, JuryCall, Information Kiosks and Composer & Engage for their wayfinding needs.
Fifty-seven monitors and eight touchscreen kiosks are dedicated to DocketCall and wayfinding. Arriving court patrons can use the touchscreens to find offices or court cases in the building, and receive turn-by-turn directions in English or Spanish to their destination.
Eighteen JuryCall check-in kiosks let jurors quickly and efficiently check in on arrival for jury duty, and 44 JuryCall displays let jurors track their status while waiting in the jury assembly area. The jury check-in kioks and JuryCall displays begin operation next Tuesday, February 28th.
Please view our press release for more detail on the Infax CourtSight Suite and Maricopa Court tower project.
Here are a few pictures of the installation:
And here's a timelapse video showing construction from May 2009 to May 2011:
