California?s Judicial Council has scrapped the controversial $2-billion Court Case Management System (CCMS), which would have linked courts in all 58 counties. The reason: There?s no money to deploy the ambitious system, reports the Daily Journal.
The council, headed by the chief justice, spent nearly $500 million on the project over the last ten years. It has been installed in only a few of the 58 trial courts in the state. Although the judiciary will spend $8.6 million just to wind down the project, it?s not clear if any parts of it will be retained.
