Governments looking to reduce operating costs and speed up transactions are now turning to court kiosks in massive numbers. Court kiosks have been around since the early 2000’s, but as we see a general rise in the acceptance of digital kiosks in other sectors, courthouses across the country are also starting to benefit from automated processes.
Court Kiosks Can Assist with Basic Check-ins and Filings
Early models of court kiosks were used to check in litigants, attorneys, and visitors, etc.; however, capabilities have grown to now include:
- Fee and fine collections,
- updates on parties’ arrival,
- docket details, and
- wayfinding to reach courtrooms.
In the past, relaying these mundane details required human staffing. Today, courthouse visitors can enjoy a much smoother process, and governments can enjoy cost savings, thanks to court kiosks.
Interactive digital government kiosks can even connect judges with counsel, and can be used to file a myriad of legal documents. Also, these kiosks can be situated on off-courthouse premises, such as in another county government location, making it more convenient for the public to pay fees and fines, or process paperwork. This not only helps the public gain better access to public services, but it also may help to reduce foot traffic at the courthouse.
