Goals
CCMS Products
One of the overarching goals of CCMS is to make the California courts “venue transparent”: that is, to enable judicial constituents and the public to conduct court business from any location in the state. In addition to venue transparency, when it is fully implemented CCMS will w Create a common technical infrastructure and promote standard business practices w Increase public safety by collaborating with local and state justice partners w Adopt standards for data sharing w Ensure equal access to justice for the public and other justice partners w Reduce the costs of maintaining disparate case management systems w Maximize economies of scale and leverage shared resources w Allow each court to configure CCMS for its unique needs w Utilize a common approach for all case categories based on best practices and continued technology evolution w Manage system enhancements, especially those that arise from legislative changes w Maximize the benefits of automation by standardizing court business processes

The California Case Management System project consists of three components.
w CCMS-V2 manages criminal and traffic cases and can exchange information with the Department of Justice, the Department of Motor Vehicles, and local justice agencies. It has been implemented in the Superior Court of Fresno County.
w CCMS-V3 manages civil, small claims, probate, and mental health cases. It permits electronic filing of cases and is accessible at public computer kiosks in courthouses. Deployment began in late 2006, and four courts— San Diego, Orange, Ventura, and Sacramento—have implemented portions of it.
w CCMS-V4 will focus on family law, juvenile dependency, and juvenile delinquency case categories. It will also support Unified Family Court business processes. It will use the V3 application as its base and will integrate the functionality from V2. CCMS will be fully implemented in all 58 superior courts by the end of 2012.
