COURT MANAGEMENT
Accessing a particular court enables a court administrator (or someone in that type of
role) to manage clients that are assigned to that court. As you review your SCRAM
Program, you can review a court’s client list to better determine which courts have high
usage and where opportunities to expand usage exist.
Court Naming Convention
AMS understands the importance of managing your clients at the court level. The naming
of a court can be as broad or narrow as you need to allow you to see the number of courts
that are significantly using SCRAM or the judges in a court that are sentencing offenders
to SCRAM. Because of this, the naming convention that you use for each court that you
add becomes critical.
When you enter a court into SCRAM
NET, a referring court name and short name are
entered. The naming convention used for both entries is essential for the reasons
previously stated. In Colorado, for example, the Sixth Judicial District handles the
“higher level of offense” court cases for Archuleta, La Plata, and San Juan counties. Each
county has its own court. Both courts may assign clients to SCRAM. The following are
examples of how to name each court at the two levels.
