Platform/Automate
Magistration & First Appearance
Orchestrate every step from arrest intake to counsel appointment on one connected record. Start the clock at arrest, route each case by offense and authority, walk the magistrate through the hearing, surface risk and public-safety information, capture the bail decision, generate protective orders, and appoint counsel on time. Configured to the statutes, deadlines, and reporting your county already follows.
The problem
Magistration runs on a clock that starts at arrest.
From the moment of arrest, the magistration window, the bail decision, and the appointment of counsel all run at once, across the jail, the magistrate, the prosecutor, and appointed counsel. Each step has its own deadline, its own form, and its own notifications. Run that on paper and across disconnected systems, and deadlines slip, forms go missing, and the record comes up short. Magistration puts the whole sequence on one record that tracks every clock, generates every required form, and produces every required report, configured to the rules your county already follows.
What it does
Every capability inside Magistration: built in, configurable, and connected to the rest of the platform.
Arrest Intake & Routing
Ingest booking data from your jail management system, start the magistration clock at arrest, and route each case to the magistrate with authority by offense type and your jurisdiction’s rules. Eligibility and restriction checks flag the cases that must go to a higher court.
Guided Magistration Event
Walk the magistrate through every required rights advisement, capture language-access and competency-screening flags, and record whether the person requested counsel, in person or over video.
Risk & Public-Safety Information
Surface pretrial risk and public-safety information to the magistrate before the bail decision, from built-in Risk Assessments or your existing instrument. Push the completed bail record back to your reporting system on time.
Bail Decisions
Capture every path: release on personal bond, surety or cash, or denial under your state’s preventive-detention rules. Conditions, prohibition checks, the detention-hearing workflow, evidentiary findings, and the appeal clock are tracked end to end.
Emergency Protective Orders
Generate emergency protective orders with the correct duration, conditions, and protected parties for your jurisdiction, then trigger next-business-day distribution and protective-order registry entry.
Indigent Defense & Counsel
Screen for indigency, capture the financial affidavit, and appoint counsel from the rotation by your jurisdiction’s deadline. Out-of-county requests transmit on time, and vouchers hand off to your existing system.
Notifications & Cross-County
Notify the prosecutor and sheriff of bail conditions automatically. For a defendant on bail in another county, identify the designated contact and transmit electronic notice by the next business day.
Compliance Reporting & Audit
Every event, appointment, and notification is logged. The dashboard produces the magistration-timeliness, counsel-timeliness, bail, and protective-order reports your county and state require.
How it works
From data to outcome, automatically
- 01
Intake from booking
Arrest and booking data flow in from your jail management system. The clock starts and eligibility checks route the case to the right magistrate.
- 02
The magistrate’s hearing
The magistrate works a guided checklist: rights advisement, language and competency flags, risk and public-safety information, and the counsel request, in person or over video.
- 03
Decision and orders
Capture the bail decision, generate the bail record and any emergency protective order, and fire the required notifications, each on its own deadline.
- 04
Counsel and record
Appoint counsel from the rotation by the deadline, hand vouchers to your existing system, and preserve a complete, reportable record of every step.
