Using Technology to Improve the Administration of Justice

Charles W. Nihan, Russell R. Wheeler
January 1, 1981

An analysis, produced for a symposium on federal judicial administration, of the ways in which technology helped the courts in the 1970s and 1980s and of how the special characteristics of courts affect their receptivity to technological innovation. 

The authors describe Courtran-various court and case-management applications that were developed by the Center and transferred to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts in the 1970s and 1980s.

This is a reprint of 1981 Brigham Young University Law Review 659, No.3.
