With Tyler’s Odyssey solution suite, the
Choctaw Nation Judicial Branch is in the position to become one of
the most efficient tribal court systems in the U.S.
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) has been working in
partnership with Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma on the creation of a
sophisticated new court system for the tribal government that
improves access to justice for all its tribal citizens, enables
collaboration across the Nation’s justice agencies, and reduces the
need for paper files, saving time for tribal members, judges, and
attorneys.
“We are extremely proud to be working with the Choctaw Nation of
Oklahoma, one of the first tribal nations to incorporate Tyler’s
cloud-based solutions into its judicial system,” said Mark Salinas,
client success account manager, Tyler Technologies. “This is a very
special integration for us because we understand how closely it
aligns with the mission and values of Choctaw Nation. Providing a
fair and just court system for its tribal members has been the
Nation’s top priority throughout this process.”
Among the solutions integrated into the Choctaw Judicial System
over the course of 18 months are Odyssey Case Manager™, Odyssey
Judge Edition™, Odyssey Attorney Manager™, e-filing, Tyler Jury
Manager™, and Odyssey Guide & File™.
With these solutions in place, Choctaw Nation has been able to
transition a very manual process, which until recently involved
hand delivering court documents, into a more automated system
which:
- Reduces dependence on paper files
- Integrates with a special online platform for judges
- Saves time and costs
- Puts documents online for public viewing
- Helps schedule court hearings faster
- Gives Choctaw tribal members improved access to justice by
streamlining the judicial process
Improved Access to Justice
One of Choctaw’s main priorities in the overhaul of its judicial
system was to provide convenient electronic access to the tribe’s
court system for all its citizens. Before the integration of
Tyler’s Odyssey solutions, citizens representing themselves in
civil cases like divorces, evictions, or small claims had to
manually complete the necessary paperwork and file the cases
in-person at the courthouse, something often difficult for tribal
elders and those living in rural areas.
Tyler’s Odyssey Case Manager, e-filing, and Guide & File
software allows tribal members to now access online help to
navigate the electronic system and file online, ending the need for
paper and in-person filing and the subsequent long lines at the
courthouse.
“Tyler understands our history and the importance of ensuring
that our tribal members have access to justice and the judicial
system,” says Choctaw Nation IT Director John Miller. “Throughout
this process, Tyler has served as a true partner, and we are
grateful for their guidance and wisdom as we move forward in
creating a path to justice for all Choctaw Nation citizens.”
Tyler Technologies awarded the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma
Judicial Branch with the Tyler Excellence Award in 2020 for the
tribal government’s partnership in modernizing and transforming its
judicial system through the integration of Tyler’s Odyssey court
case management software
Seamless Online Processes for Agencies, Judges, Courts, and
Juries
Choctaw’s previous system was an entirely manual process. With
70 arresting agencies, it is a considerable amount of paper, all of
which was hand delivered to the prosecutor’s office and manually
entered into an online system. From there, someone walked the
paperwork to the court clerk’s office. Tyler’s Odyssey solution
helps to streamline this process by considerably reducing the need
for paper files.
Similarly, other Tyler solutions integrated into Choctaw’s new
simplified and streamlined judicial processes include:
- Jury Manager: Helps courts and citizens navigate the jury
system and provides answers to juror questions
- Judge Edition: Provides access and control of critical case
information right from the bench, eliminating paper documents and
providing up-to-date case data
- Attorney Manager: Aids prosecutors and public defenders by
organizing and maintaining case data for hearing and trial
preparation
“Choctaw’s transition to Tyler’s Odyssey software has put the
Choctaw Nation Judicial Branch in the position to be hailed as one
of the most efficient tribal court systems in the U.S,” continued
Salinas. “Perhaps most importantly, the new system provides tribal
members and Oklahoma residents a judicial process that aligns with
Choctaw’s core beliefs, respects its citizens and allows their
voices to be heard.”
