The Kansas judicial branch phased restoration of the Kansas eCourt case management system in district courts continues, although at a slower pace than had been planned.
The case management system is used by district courts to process cases. It is among several information systems temporarily incapacitated by an October 12 cyberattack from overseas.
District courts in nine judicial districts encompassing 28 counties had their access to the case management system restored as of December 19. Two more judicial districts were added December 22, eight were added yesterday, and one will be added this afternoon.
The restoration plan originally called for courts in 104 counties to be back on the case management system by the end of last week, but system performance slowed the effort.
Until performance issues are resolved, courts operating on the case management system will continue to use a paper receipting process adopted after the cyberattack.
Because courts have not had access to the case management system for several weeks, case events and case documents dated after October 12 are not likely to show up in searches, at least initially. It could take courts several weeks to bring all case events and documents up to date.
