Trial Court Completes Rollout Of Masscourts Lite

Chief Justice for Administration and Management Robert A. Mulligan today announced that the Trial Court has completed its rollout of MassCOURTS Lite to 63 divisions of the District and Boston Municipal Court Departments. MassCOURTS is the Trial Court’s web-based, electronic case management system. MassCOURTS Lite is the core of the system’s criminal case management component, which improves public safety through better information sharing and identity of defendants in criminal cases and provides many cost efficiencies in court operations.

The rollout was accomplished in approximately one year with the support and assistance of hundreds of Trial Court employees across the Commonwealth who attended to their regular case management responsibilities as they were adapting to the new system.

Chief Justice Mulligan said, “I am very proud of the effort and hard work of those employees in the trenches and their enthusiastic participation in the training in order to make the rollout a success. Most remarkable is their willingness to embrace cultural change and to modify entrenched business practices to improve management through automation. Through the capable leadership of Chief Information Officer Craig Burlingame and Judge Jim McHugh, who has devoted countless hours to this project as my special adviser, the Trial Court has made substantial progress in the rollout of MassCOURTS.” Read more at mass.gov
