SACRAMENTO — Deploying a long-awaited case management system to just 11 of California’s 58 trial courts would cost $1.2 billion over the next 10 years, according to a report released in anticipation of a pivotal Judicial Council meeting on Tuesday.
In comparison, shelving the Court Case Management System and allowing those same 11 courts to independently replace their filing software as needed would cost $1.13 billion — or $67 million less — over that same 10-year period, the analysis from consultant Graham Thornton concluded.
