The County Clerk of the Circuit Court needed an in-courtroom solution and turned to Mentis Technology to translate their vision into a powerful in-courtroom product. Hear about the vision as narrated by Hon. Lee E Haworth, Chief Judge, 12th Judicial Circuit of Florida.
Introduction
Mentis Technology collaborated with the12th Judicial Circuit of Florida and the Manatee County Clerk of the Circuit Court in Florida to develop an internet-based, in-courtroom solution for judges. (See the The Manatee Model™.) The vision which inspired aiSmartBench is presented and narrated by Hon. Lee E. Haworth, Chief Judge, 12th Judicial Circuit of Florida, in conjunction with Hon. R.B. “Chips” Shore, Clerk of Courts, Manatee County Florida and the Judges of the 12th Judicial Circuit of Florida.
The savings potential of a “paper-free” solution such as aiSmartBench is significant. An internal audit in Manatee County found that by being fully electronic (all court customers filing and accessing court documents electronically) the Manatee Clerk would realize cost savings approaching 1 million dollars a year. aiSmartBench eliminates the barrier for judges to adopt the “paper-free” technology in the fast-paced court room and outperforms the traditional courtroom incumbent, hand-delivered paper files.
Unlike other court solutions, aiSmartBench was built from the perspective of the judge. Only after intensive listening to the needs of the judge as well as other key courtroom stakeholders did Mentis begin developing aiSmartBench.
Uniquely designed with the judge in mind, aiSmartBench delivers:
- Real-time access to all docket images, all court rulings and events, key case data, and provides at-a-glance views into such supporting systems as the jail system, financial case data and the driver’s license database
- A mechanism for the court clerk and judicial assistant to work in tandem with the judge — automating the capture of in-courtroom data, the generation of court orders and the automatic filing and routing of electronically signed orders.
- High-speed, full text searches within a document and across all documents for a particular case giving the document reviewer the capability to add notes and pushpins (bookmarks) to the text as needed.
- A one-click, related-cases research tool
- The ability to capture critical information from the image and store it with the case for quick access
