    JudgesJudges often question the security and utility of a

    digital document management solution. But withyour paper documents scanned and stored inLaserfiche, it’ s easy to research past cases and respondto questions from attorneys, probation officers and thepublic. You and your staff have direct access to casefiles,so you speed the judicial process. And, perhaps

    best of all, you can access case files directly from thebench, so lost or misplaced paper files are no longera problem— and you no longer have to reschedule, postpone or continue cases because of misplaceddocuments.

    The Clerk of Courts is the keeper of the courts’ records, and our mission is to preserve recordsand make them accessible. With Laserfiche, our records are instantly available to over 400 users. Laserfiche is my first, most frequent and preferred choice when reviewing case files.”

    Donald R. O’Shell, Clerk of CourtsYork County, PA

    Court Records ManagersManaging juvenile, felony, misdemeanor, civil anddomestic cases leaves you struggling to controlmultiple record schedules, differing security require-ments and, worst of all, overwhelming amounts ofpaper. Laserfiche’ s customizable nested file folder

    structure helps you control records related to thedifferent types of cases your court hears, whetherarchived or current. Divide cases by type or division, by year or by case number— Laserfiche supportswhatever file structure fits your court best. And withthe DoD 5015.2-certified security features, you pro-

    tect not only confidential documents associated withpublic cases, but also expunged and sealed caserecords, from unauthorized access or release.

  • Strengthen Records Management

    The Laserfiche product suite offers integrated, DoD5015.2-certified records management functionality. Laserfiche Records Management Edition provides astructured, record series- based repository that isinvisible to the user accessing the document manage-ment system, so records management doesn’ t inter-

    fere with your existing work processes.

    What I like about Laserfiche is that I can manage electronic documents, paper, microfilm andaudio and video files enterprise- wide. Our old content manager didn’ t have full-text searchcapability, and it didn’tmanage records retention. With Records Management Edition, it’s easyto manage retention periods, and it’s simple to locate information.”

    Margaret Anderson, Records ManagerCollin County, TX

    out their life cycle.

    Run reports detailing where records are in theirlife cycle and which records are eligible fortransfer, accession or destruction.

    Log system activity to demonstrate compliancewith regulations, including expungement orsealing orders.

  • Support Court Continuity ofOperations PlanningDuring an emergency, the ability to performconstitutionally mandated functions—initialappearances, arraignments, orders of protection,

    injunctive relief and other emergency applications—is crucial to maintaining the rule of law. Every courtshould have a plan in place to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from operational inter-ruptions. Laserfiche plays a key part in this plan, securing court records and limiting the cost and

    effort of salvage and restoration.

    Protect vulnerable paper archives from flood,

    fire, damage and theft.

    Improve Performance and Planning

    Share Information With OtherLaw Enforcement AgenciesCourts are increasingly asked to share informationwith other government agencies.
