Report 2010-102: Administrative Office of the Courts: The Statewide Case Management Project Faces Significant Challenges Due to Poor Project Management (Release Date: February 2011)

Recommendation #11 To: Administrative Office of the Courts

To understand whether CCMS is a cost-beneficial solution to the superior courts' case management needs, the AOC should continue with its planned cost-benefit study and ensure it completes this study before spending additional significant resources on the project. The AOC should ensure that this study includes a thorough analysis of the cost and benefits of the statewide case management project, including a consideration of costs and benefits it believes cannot be reasonably quantified. The AOC should carefully evaluate the results of the study and present a recommendation to the Judicial Council regarding the course of action that should be taken with CCMS. Further, the AOC should fully share the results of the study as well as its recommendation to all interested parties, such as the superior courts, justice partners, the Legislature, and the Information Office. The AOC should update this cost-benefit analysis periodically and as significant assumptions change.

1-Year Agency Response

In March 2012 the Judicial Council voted to halt deployment of CCMS; thus, this recommendation is no longer relevant. (See 2013-406, p. 132)
