CJIS for Prosecutors is INSLAW's comprehensive
prosecution management software product that enables prosecutors
to manage their workload from the intake and screening stage
through final disposition and sentencing. The system also can be
used to identify career criminals who re-offend while on bail or
who have extensive criminal histories, and to help prosecutors
improve communications with police, victims and witnesses.
Management insights from caseflow statistics help prosecutors
establish and evaluate policies and priorities on gangs, drugs,
juvenile crime, domestic violence and other community problems.
CJIS for Prosecutors can be implemented either as a stand-alone
prosecution system or as a component of INSLAW's multi-agency
Comprehensive Justice Information System (CJIS).
Case Management CJIS for Prosecutors tracks
prosecutions of adult and juvenile cases from intake, screening,
and investigation through final disposition. The system provides
on-line access to case information by any field including
defendant, witness, victim, prosecuting and defense attorneys,
judge, experts, evidence, dispositions, sentences and appeals.
The system can summarize the activity in a case, displaying the
current status, the last scheduled event and date, and the next
scheduled event and date. The unique data partitioning feature,
together with the security capability, make it possible to
segregate juvenile cases from adult cases. The INSLAW system can
also assist in the assignment of cases and the evaluation of
prosecution performance.
CJIS for Prosecutors
Components:
Person Identification
Each defendant is assigned a unique person I.D. number that is
linked to a complete file of information for that defendant. This
includes physical descriptors, aliases, prior arrests and/or
convictions, known associates, addresses, warrants, cautions,
etc. The system automatically summarizes the activity for the
defendant across his or her active and disposed cases, including
active warrants, and monies due under each case. The unique data
partitioning feature, together with the Security capability, make
it possible to segregate juvenile offender histories from
histories of adult offenders, and to restrict access to
authorized users.
Victim/Witness Services
The INSLAW software allows a prosecutor's office to monitor all
contacts with victims and witnesses and to respond quickly to
their requests for information. Reports of victim and witness
activity can be produced.

Docketing/Scheduling
CJIS for Prosecutors records all past events and future scheduled
events. This data can be sorted on-line by prosecutor, division,
case type, courtroom, judge, date, and/or range of dates. Users
are provided with on-line access to all event information
according to case, date, type of activity, and individual
involved. In addition, hard copy calendars can be produced in a
user-defined format.
Speedy Trial Date
Calculation
INSLAW's prosecution system can track a speedy trial date for a
defendant. An excluded time record contains information regarding
events that affect the speedy trial date. The system deducts
excluded time and automatically recalculates the latest date for
trial.
Warrant Generation
CJIS for Prosecutors tracks warrants and their status. Warrant
records can be created automatically based on information entered
for the case. Moreover, a hard copy of the warrant can be
generated and directed to a printer at any location.
