Technology Upgrades Coming to Kentucky Courts
Update: 2021-06-08
Description
The head of the Kentucky Supreme Court says the past 14 months have been the most challenging in the history of the modern court system. However, as courts return to full, in-person proceedings, Chief Justice John Minton, Jr., says the judicial system should retain lessons learned from the pandemic. COVID-19 proved the importance of electronic filing and remote technology in the court system. In recent remarks to an interim legislative committee, Chief Justice Minton said COVID-19 forced courts to pivot to phone and video proceedings. “If the pandemic had struck a decade, even five years ago, our ability to operate remotely would have been seriously curtailed, but we were able to persevere and use this technology to our advantage," Minton said.
