Case software for prosecutors and public defenders
Prosecutors and public defenders need fast access to case documents, electronic filing, secure discovery, and dependable victim and witness communication. eCourtDate digitizes the paper-heavy work so attorneys spend their time on case strategy, not document handling.
Who this is for
Built for prosecutors and public defenders
eCourtDate is built for prosecutor and public defender offices: the attorneys and staff who file, prepare, and try cases, and who carry statutory duties to keep victims and witnesses informed. These offices drown in paper filings, document volume, and discovery exchanges, while victim-notification mandates demand outreach no one has time to do by hand. eCourtDate gives prosecutors, defenders, and victim advocates electronic filing, document intelligence, secure evidence sharing, and automated notification.
Prosecutors and district attorney offices
File electronically, find case details fast, and meet victim-notification duties without manual outreach.
Public defenders
Receive and review discovery digitally, manage document-heavy caseloads, and keep clients informed.
Victim advocates and witness coordinators
Automate rights notifications, case-status updates, and offender-status alerts in each person’s language.
Office IT and administrators
Run a CJIS-compliant platform on AWS GovCloud with no local infrastructure, and integrate with the systems you already use.
The challenges you face
The work piling up behind the docket
Paper-heavy filing consumes hours
Manual document preparation, physical filing, and paper discovery exchanges eat the hours that should go to case strategy, and rejected filings are discovered days later.
Victim and witness coordination is mandated and manual
Marsy’s Law and VOCA-funded programs require timely, documented notice of rights, hearings, and offender status, and doing that by phone for every victim on every case is more than any office can sustain.
Document volume buries the details
Cases generate hundreds of pages. Finding relevant information, tracking versions, and maintaining chain of custody is slow and error-prone without digital tools.
Discovery moves on email and drives
Sharing evidence by email attachment or thumb drive creates chain-of-custody gaps and accidental-disclosure risk that carry real legal consequences.
Defenders cannot reach their clients
Public defender caseloads make client contact the first casualty. Letters to old addresses and unreturned calls become missed court dates, failed-communication complaints, and hearings that arrive unprepared.

How it works
From your data to your outcomes
- 01
Connect filing and the CMS
Electronic filing and documents sync with your case management system, so nothing is re-keyed or transported on paper.
- 02
Digitize documents and discovery
OCR and AI read and classify case files, and evidence is shared securely with a complete chain of custody.
- 03
Automate victim notification
Rights, status, and offender alerts go out automatically in each victim’s preferred language and channel, fully documented.
- 04
Focus on the case
With handling automated, attorneys spend their time on strategy, preparation, and the courtroom.
The outcome
Where this gets your office
Before long, the paper recedes. Filings go out and come back electronically, validated up front, so rejections do not surface days later. The hundreds of pages in a case are readable and searchable, and discovery is shared through secure links instead of email attachments and thumb drives, with the chain of custody intact. Victims are informed of their rights, the next hearing, and any change in offender status automatically, in their own language, and every notice is documented to satisfy the mandate. Attorneys get those hours back for the work that actually decides cases.
