Courts enter the computer age, but slowly
Article Abstract:
Over 1,800 people attended the National Center for State Courts' Third National Court Technology Conference in Dallas, TX, Mar 11-15, 1992. The judicial community has been slow to automate, but computer enthusiasts have no shortage of ideas on how to expand computer use in courts. The biggest obstacles to computerization are lack of funding, older judges who are not computer literate, and disparities between documentation. Computer advocates hope to find a solution to these problems and set up a national network called the Judicial Electronic Data Interchange.
