This report presents findings, based on limited access to Sustain- Los Angeles Countys Superior Court Case Management

System (CMS), the California Court of Appeals Case Management System, and the U.S. Circuit Courts Case Management System (Pacer). Such systems are the governing system in the courts today, since the key documents in court administration, in court review, and in safeguard of the conduct of the courts Registers of Actions, and Indexes of All Cases, are nowhere on pap er any longer. We hold that these instruments are critical for the integrity of our democratic system, and that traditions that were developed over hundreds of years to ensure the saf eguard of the system were hastily discarded in the transition to digital court manageme nt, with no public scrutiny. Our study is based on limited access to these system. Moreover, it is compromise d by the bias introduced by one of the authors, who is an interested party. However, he obtained unusual insights into these systems that are still of critical signific ance in drawing attention to systems that have so far escaped public scrutiny. We could not find a single reference in the computers/public policy area to this question. -2When it comes to the Federal Court, Pacer clearly holds a Docket or Register of Actions each case. The system can be seen as a model it is transparent easily accessible, and provides additional valuable reports such as the Related Transac tions. Pacer allows the litigants who are counsels to post their papers directly online . That feature alone, is held by this writer as a unique guarantee of justice, and the establishing of new rights and freedoms in conjunction with the transition to di gital technology, when other courts acted otherwise. The significance of Pacer in establishing Federal Courts as a standard will surely will be appreciated with t he passage of time.
