(KAIR)--Chief Judge Joan Lowdon, of the 1st Judicial District, composed of Atchison and Leavenworth counties, is among a group of three appointed, by the Kansas Supreme Court, to serve on subcommittees of the eCourt Steering Committee.

According to a release from the Kansas Courts, the committee oversees implementation of a statewide centralized case management system, which the release calls “a key component in the Supreme Court's eCourt plan.”

Lowdon will serve on both the eCourt Requirements and the eCourt Workshare subcommittees, while Cindy MacDonald, clerk of the Dickinson County District Court, will serve on the eCourt Requirements subcommittee. Lisa Paxton, director of the central payment center in the Office of Judicial Administration, is named to serve on both the eCourt Rules and Ecourt Workshare subcommittees.

According to the release, implementation of the eCourt system, in courts statewide, “will allow district and appellate case data to reside on a single web-based platform, transforming the way the state court system serves the people of Kansas.”
