Supreme Court of Ohio 2006 Annual Report - Supreme Court - State ...

Advisory Committee on Technology & the Courts
Infrastructure & Interoperability Subcommittee
During 2006, the Technology Services Section provided
staff assistance to the Advisory Committee on Technology
& the Courts, which adopted revised operating procedures
in accordance with the Supreme Court policies on advisory
committees, and approved a recommendation from the
Infrastructure & Interoperability Subcommittee on the
connectivity aspects of the Ohio Courts Network.
Additionally, the advisory committee worked to produce
natural-language guidebooks and other publications for court
decision-makers on technology issues. In an effort to collect
information on possible uses of the Ohio Courts Network
by court personnel, the Infrastructure & Interoperability
Subcommittee conducted feedback sessions throughout the
state. About 200 people attended the 10 feedback sessions in
February and March 2006.
The advisory committee accepted the Ohio Courts
Network requirements drafted by the Infrastructure &
Interoperability Subcommittee. Parts of the requirements
were incorporated into the request for proposals for the
proof-of-concept phase of the Ohio Courts Network.
Finally, the Infrastructure & Interoperability
Subcommittee, having fulfilled its mission and goals, was
deactivated by the advisory committee.

Standards Subcommittee
The Standards Subcommittee of the advisory committee
completed a 90-day comment period in 2006 on proposed
Electronic Filing Standards and accepted a revised draft.
The completed standards and related documentation are
expected to be presented to the advisory committee in early
2007.
The Standards Subcommittee also provisionally approved
two electronic filing pilot projects in the Lake County Juvenile
Court and the Montgomery County Common Pleas Court;
reviewed and offered feedback on the uniform electronic
citation numbering proposal presented by the Ohio State
Highway Patrol; and assisted the Advisory Committee on
Court Security & Emergency Preparedness in creating a plan
for dealing with an avian flu pandemic.
In addition, the Standards Subcommittee reviewed
facsimile filing rules submitted by courts throughout the state
to ensure compliance with the Facsimile Filing Standards, and
began discussing procedures for ensuring compliance with
the Civil, Criminal, and Traffic Functional Case Management
System Standards.
