The Prosecuting Attorney module provides case, image and document processing
for a county's prosecuting attorney solicitor. Whether this person is
called the "District Attorney" or the "States Attorney" the
system provides this office with the ability to track ad manage all of the cases
whether or not they are subsequently filed with the court. Outstanding
support is also provided for quick and accurate charge document generation using
user maintained statute tables and Uniform Complaint documents. Teamed
with the Integrated Court Module, seamless
but secure access is provided to court and prosecuting attorney information.
The component that drives this module is a case processing engine that
captures each and every event associated with a case. As a result of a
simple user defined entry, management can easily track case action status, case
reasons, case dispositions and more. CLERICUS MAGNUS also generates a
description of the event in plain English text. This same processing
engine also produces all of the associated charging documents, warrants,
correspondence to victims, witnesses and other case participants.
