Judge Michael Marcus in Oregon passed along this information from the court's Chief Information Officer, Bud Borja:
"The Oregon Judicial Department’s efforts to obtaining funding for the Oregon eCourt program earlier this year was successful. Two bills passed in the February 2008, Supplement Session provided 24 million in debt financing for Oregon eCourt. In addition, Oregon Judicial Department (OJD) has authority to spend $2 million from the Collections Account funds that have been set aside for a financial system eplacement. Receiving this funding allows OJD to move forward with the replacement of our existing case and financial management systems and to bring modern business tools and practices into the Oregon courts."
Video of testimony before the legislature supporting the eCourts initivative has been posted on YouTube. Here are links to the video clips:
