eCourt is equipped with a rich suite of capabilities that go beyond standard case management solutions. These capabilities are just the tip of the iceberg: eCourt’s powerful configurability enables administrators to tailor the system to individual workflows and judicial needs.

Move every case forward, faster
Automated workflows help users manage filings, triage new cases, and handle scheduling and notifications from case initiation to resolution. Configurable task routing adapts cases to local rules, reducing manual work and helping courts handle growing caseloads efficiently.
Run your courtroom with confidence
In the courtroom, eCourt makes it easy to prepare and run dockets with real-time access to digital case files and concise case summaries. Record appearances, capture notes, annotate documents, issue orders, and apply digital stamps and electronic signatures from the bench or in chambers.
Never lose track of a document again
eCourt provides complete control over the court’s document lifecycle, from creation and capture to storage and retrieval. Documents can be generated from templates or scanned and uploaded into the case file, then automatically filed or routed for review and acceptance through configurable workflows. Advanced search, indexing and versioning ensure information is easy to find and fully auditable across every case.
Keep finances simple, accurate, & traceable
eCourt’s integrated financial system helps courts assess, collect, and manage fines and fees accurately. The Assessment Engine applies court-defined logic to calculate, receive, and distribute payments in accordance with accounting policies and legislation. Payments can be receipted in person or online, with both automatic and manual reconciliation supported. The system also manages party trust accounts, bail funds, and restitutions, keeping operational and fiduciary monies clearly separated yet fully traceable within the same secure environment.
Serve attorneys, litigants, & partners around the clock
eCourt’s secure online portals enable attorneys, litigants, and justice partners to file documents, make payments, and access case information 24/7. External users can view authorized case details, documents, and updates in real time. Advanced access controls ensure sensitive information is protected while reducing in-person inquiries and administrative workload.
Make your data work for you
eCourt transforms operational data into actionable insights. Configurable dashboards and reports display caseload trends, workloads, and performance indicators across court divisions. Administrators can monitor progress, identify bottlenecks, and plan resources effectively to produce measurable results.

The most efficient courts recognize that their case management system needs to evolve with their needs. eCourt is trusted by courts around the world to help them handle cases more efficiently in an ever-changing legal landscape.
