Representing the largest county in the United States, the Harris County District Clerk's Office is responsible for the selection of prospective jurors for the 98 courts in the Houston-metro area.
The District Clerk’s Office needed an upgrade to its jury management system. The old system, which was based on paper summonses, was mainframe-based and lacked required features. Further, it was time-consuming, labor-intensive and prone to error, and made efficient juror management difficult.
Catapult developed and implemented a customized jury management solution that was fully integrated with the existing. NET architecture and interface design. The application streamlined jury management. Summonses are digitized and sorting is electronic. Information on juror availability is fully accessible by the courts. The completed application can be controlled and easily managed by the Technical Services staff.
