Colorado Judicial Branch's Integrated Information Services (ISS) is a cooperative effort between the Colorado Judicial Branch and LEXIS/Courtlink. The electronic case filing project was fully implemented statewide in January 2001. Colorado attorneys may use the e-filing tool provided by LEXIS/Courtlink to file new and subequent pleadings in general jurisdiction cases. Judges and court staff may use the system to issue orders electronically. After the court clerk reviews and accepts attorney filings, information from those filings automatically populates the Branch's court case management system. The project is being expanded to include implementation of XML transfer standards, archiving older cases, integration with other state imaging systems, and other tasks.
