Free Access to Non-Confidential Court Records Now Available in Kosciusko CountyCRYSTAL LAKE, IL - After months of planning by Kosciusko County in Indiana and the National Association of System Administrators Corporation (NASA Corp.), NASA Corp. is pleased to announce that its Web-based interface, CASEView, will go live on August 1, 2008, in Kosciusko County, Indiana. "It has been a pleasure for all of us at NASA to work with Kosciusko County", said John Blanchard, CEO of NASA Corp. Kosciusko County has made a real commitment in bringing the best quality services to its citizens, and we are proud to be a part of that. This is going to be such a convenience to the public. Individuals will be able to search records back through October 1, 1992 to view non-confidential information free of charge on the Internet. Information pertaining to some older cases that were still pending in 1992 will also be available. The clerk’s office gets numerous calls every day from lawyers who want to know if cases have active service (principals have been served with court papers) and the scheduled court session is a go, and from individuals who want to know when their court dates are. In addition, companies routinely hire researchers to go in person to the courthouse and look up criminal and civil case records for pre-employment searches or title searches on property. Individuals involved in small claims cases act as their own attorneys and need access to the pertinent records. Having information available on the Internet will also cut down on foot traffic into the clerk’s office and the number of people using the public terminals to view this information. Records will be viewed by accessing the county’s website at www.kcgov.com and following the links - Click here to view online court dockets This is going to save everyone so much time. So many people have asked the county for this. Not only the attorneys, who they expect will have the biggest usage, but also people in the sheriff’s department and prosecutor’s office in addition the public. "With this technology and NASA’s expertise, everything is going so smoothly", said Amy Johnson, NASA Corporation’s Application Specialist, "especially Eric Beringer, my lead developer on the project. He worked many long hours on the CASEView rewrite to make it more appealing and robust - a very user-friendly web application." CASEView™ is a Web-based interface to not only the legacy Gavel Case Management System but also to CASETrack™, NASA Corporation’s case management system that provides the technology to automate all offices within tribal, county, state and other judicial entities together in a state-of-the-art, 21st Century case tracking system. CALENDARView™ will run in a kiosk environment in the lobby of the courthouse and enable individuals to use a touch-screen to display the principals’ names, attorney’s name, date and location of court appearances. The user can search by principal’s name or attorney’s name, or browse the whole daily calendar. "CASEView looks great! It’s easy to move around in and easy to figure out. NASA has done a great job designing CASEView to make our court dockets available to the public for free." said Sharon Christner, Clerk of Kosciusko County. "My appreciation goes out to Kosciusko County and Sharon Christner, who made this happen. I want to thank all of the staff at the county for their continued trust in NASA Corporation, our many years of friendships and their amazing patience and support during the implementation of CASEView" said Ms. Johnson. Kosciusko County will be the third clerk’s office in Indiana to go live with CASEView. Hendricks and Noble County in Indiana, were the first two clerk’s office to go live. |
