Annotation

The Lower Court Information System (LOCIS) is an automated system for managing the traffic, civil, and criminal caseloads and accounts receivables in municipal courts and justices of the peace in Arizona.

Abstract

The database design and use of coded entries offers flexibility to the small courts of limited jurisdiction that may want to modify or enhance the basic system. The system stores basic case information, party information, attorney information, payment history, statistical reporting, and notice and letter generation. The system generates monthly statistical reports and prepares financial reports, standard letters, and notices. The backup and utility menu provides system backup capabilities and various system utilities to the system administrator. The system supports five levels of security. The Arizona Administrative Office of the Courts has copyrighted the application software and documentation to prevent the product from being sold. The minimum hardware configuration is an IBM PC or compatible XT or AT machine. The LOCIS software is available without charge. Telephone support is offered to courts inside Arizona.
