Administrative Offices of the Courts
Your office sets direction for courts it does not directly control. We plan and build programs designed to be adopted.
The situation
Your authority is real but partial. You can set standards, fund programs, and publish policy, and then every local court decides how much of it to adopt. Anything that ignores that gets ignored back.
The same function exists under other names elsewhere: a courts service, a ministry of justice, a provincial court services division. The work is the same shape, and so is the way it fails.
The work that usually comes first
Each page sets out what the work involves in verbs, the artifacts it produces, how the engagement runs phase by phase, and what your agency owns at the end.
AI Readiness and Strategy
We assess your systems and data for AI readiness, draft an AI use policy for your adoption, and deliver a sequenced plan with costs.
Court Technology Modernization
Owner-side support through a major system change: needs assessment, requirements your agency can release to bidders, and procurement support.
A reasonable place to start
Nothing here requires a full modernization program to begin. This engagement is scoped in writing, priced on its own, and ends at a decision your agency makes with everything it produced already in hand.
What you own at the end
Every artifact is yours in editable source, written so another firm could execute it. Anything we build sits in your own repository from the first commit. If we operate it for you afterwards, self-hosting stays available and moving between the options is priced in advance.
Readiness and Modernization Roadmap
We interview your staff, review your systems and data, and deliver a modernization plan your agency can act on: what to do first, what it costs, and what it depends on.
- Price
- From $18,000
- Timeline
- 6 to 8 weeks
What your team uses
- An AI use policy drafted for your adoption, with a tool-vetting rubric and an approved-tool list for staff
- Your agency's modernization knowledge base, delivered as a working wiki: the systems, data, and integration inventory, the interview findings, and the decisions, ready for your team to keep current
- A scored readiness baseline, by system and capability, that your team can re-score to track progress
- A sequenced roadmap with costed options, prepared for your budget process
What we need from your team
- A working session with your IT lead and clerk of court
- Interviews with the people who do the work, about 6 hours total
- Read access to system documentation, not to case data
The safe first step
The readiness assessment is free, takes about 20 minutes, and returns a scored report you keep. It creates no obligation, no call, and no follow-up.
