The Kansas Supreme Court has announced a plan to restore most of the information systems by the end of the year for the district courts across the state.
The Court announced earlier that the information systems were affected by a cyberattack. Chief Justice Marla Luckert said recovery experts have helped in preparing a plan to get systems running again. It’s projected that the work will be done over the next several weeks, but that is subject to change.
The recovery plan will follow best practices for safely restoring and managing the eCourt case management system, which serves 104 Kansas counties. Johnson County has processed cases on a standalone management system.
The Kansas Courts eFiling System, used by attorneys and court officials to file documents electronically, will be brought back online after the eCourt case management system is restored in district courts. In the meantime, attorneys have had to deliver paper filings to courthouses in person, or by fax, mail or courier.
In early November the Office of Judicial Administration opened two service centers in the Kansas Judicial Center in Topeka. One is public access center where people can make an appointment to search for district court case information. The other center is for district court information needs.
