ICMS was systematically and rigorously developed and implemented in phases from July 2013 onward to transform the criminal and youth court processes into an integrated e-filing, e-workflow, and e-court hearing system. ICMS is a visionary, multiagency project that links all stakeholders in the criminal justice system. Its central feature is an integrated electronic workflow, which extends from initiation, scheduling, processing, hearing, and tracking of all criminal and youth court proceedings from the moment a case is filed to the time a verdict is pronounced and the sentence effected.
This session will be live streamed.
