In most jurisdictions today, centralized court administrative services perform numerous functions with the help of computers that free the court and to assist them with their roles. Rapid retrieval of data is important for use of sentencing and the history of the offender. That data is the :
Maintaining of case histories and statistical reporting
Monitoring and scheduling of cases
Preparing documents
Issuing summoned
Notifying witnesses, attorney, and others
Selecting jurors
Preparing budges
Computers and technology can also be applied in the courts in the areas of '
Communications- Closed circuit TV
Video conferencing- Communicating to prisoners from the detention location and courts.
