Victim Notification
Keep victims and witnesses informed of their rights, the case, and offender status at every step, in their language, without staff tracking each notice by hand. A change in offender status reaches them right away.
Meet every notification obligation, automatically
The challenge
Keep victims and witnesses informed of their rights, the case, and offender status at every step, in their language, without staff tracking each notice by hand.
Notification is a legal duty tracked by hand
Marsy’s Law and VOCA obligations require timely notice at each stage. Tracking who must be told what, and when, on paper or from memory risks a missed notification and a real harm.
Victims are left wondering
Without proactive updates, victims call to ask where the case stands, and staff field the same questions repeatedly while victims stay anxious.
A status change can be a safety issue
When an offender’s custody status changes, a delayed alert is not just an inconvenience; it can be a safety risk.
Language and channel are barriers
A notice a victim cannot read, or that arrives on a channel they do not use, does not inform them.
How it works
From your case data to the outcome
- 01
Identify who must be notified
eCourtDate reads the case to know which victims and witnesses are entitled to notice and what each stage requires.
- 02
Deliver rights and updates
Rights information and case-status updates go out automatically at each stage, in the victim’s preferred language and channel.
- 03
Alert on offender status
When an offender’s custody or offender status changes, an alert goes out automatically, without waiting on a manual check.
- 04
Connect to support
Notices link victims to support resources and next steps, so being informed comes with somewhere to turn.
What it does
Rights Notifications
Automated delivery of victim rights information at each stage of the case.
Case Status Updates
Real-time notifications when case status changes, hearings are scheduled, or dispositions are entered.
Offender Status Alerts
Automatic notification when an offender's custody status changes.
The outcome
No victim left wondering, no notice missed
Every required notice goes out on time, in a language the victim can read, on a channel they use, without a staff member tracking each obligation by hand. Victims know their rights and where the case stands, and a change in offender status reaches them right away. The duty is met because the system, not a checklist, is keeping it.
