The Kansas Supreme Court said Tuesday that the portal allowing residents to search district court cases on the internet is back online, but its information is out-of-date while the courts work to put information into the system.
The portal is one of several court information systems that were disabled by an October 12th cyberattack.
District courts across the state are working to digitize case information recorded on paper to add it to the case management system. Case events and case documents processed after the October 12 security incident may not show up in a search, at least initially.
Another feature of the Kansas District Court Public Access Portal allows people to pay fines, fees, and costs online. That service is also restored, but information about recent payments and related cases data may be out of date. Payments processed October 12 and after may not appear in the payment portal. The Central Payment Center in the Office of Judicial Administration is logging payments made since October 12 as quickly as possible.
The Kansas eCourt case management system is almost completely restored. Courts in 102 of the state’s 105 counties, representing 29 of the state’s 31 judicial districts, have had access restored to the system. They have been working to bring the information up-to-date.
The Kansas Courts eFiling system used by attorneys to electronically file documents in district courts is expected to be available sometime after the first of the year.
More information on the restoration is available through the kscourts.org web site.
