(MSC News)--The Kansas judicial branch phased restoration of the Kansas eCourt case management system in district courts continues, although at a slower pace than had been planned.
The case management system is used by district courts to process cases, and is among several information systems temporarily incapacitated by an October 12 cyberattack.
According to a release issued Wednesday, district courts in nine Kansas judicial districts encompassing 28 counties had their access to the case management system restored as of December 19. Two more judicial districts were added December 22, eight were added Tuesday, and one was added Wednesday. Among those that regained access Tuesday was the 2nd Judicial District, including the local counties of Jackson, Jefferson, and Pottawatomie, as well as the 22nd Judicial District, including Brown, Doniphan, Marshall, and Nemaha Counties.
The restoration plan originally called for courts in 104 counties to be back on the case management system by the end of last week, but system performance slowed the effort.
When the case management system is restored in a district court, that court can offer visitors the option to search district court case information through a courthouse terminal.
Because courts have not had access to the case management system for several weeks, case events and case documents dated after October 12 are not likely to show up in search, at least initially. It could take courts several weeks to bring all case events and documents up to date.
A similar search capability through the web-based Kansas District Court Public Access Portal will not be available until sometime after all district courts have their access to the case management system restored.
The public can continue to search cases through a public access service center in the Kansas Judicial Center in Topeka or visit a district court that has regained access to the case management system.
