Justice System Software by RCP Software
Welcome to the world of RCP Software justice system software for judges, lawyers,
court administrators, law enforcement, prisons, and others associated with the
judicial system. This site will feature prototype software, most of which will be FREE.
Just download and use it. And please refer others in the legal system to this site so
they can also take advantage of this resource. We welcome suggestions, ideas, and
your thoughts for judicial system software!
The author of this Web site also writes the technology column for the Daily
Recorder, the legal newspaper for the greater Sacramento County, California area.
You may read archived columns at DR Columns 1-40, DR Columns 41-80, DR
Columns 81-120, and DR Columns 121-160.
If any particular piece of software needs to be customized (e.g. each county or
lawyer needs a personalized version) the charge to customize it will be extremely
reasonable. Some customization will be free.
RCP Software extends a sincere invitation to all legal professionals and others
associated with the legal system, including law enforcement, court administrators,
prison officials, secretaries, judges, lawyers, clerks, etc. to describe their software
needs and request help. In the case of court administration software, if
administrators from different counties get together and agree on items such as data
fields and desired capabilities for a particular type of software, software can be
created that will operate in each county in a common fashion and which will contain
data commonly formatted so that it can be easily exchanged between counties and
even states. Court calendaring software immediately comes to mind. Law
enforcement agencies that need to exchange data can also be helped and it doesn't
need to cost a mint. Contact us now.
While the creator of this software is a California attorney, the invitation is extended to
legal professionals, including court administrators, in every state.
One of the aims of this demonstration site is to show the legal profession, law
enforcement, court administration, prison administration, and the taxpaying public
that supports the legal system with their hard-earned tax dollars, the extent of what
can be done. It is also the intention of the author to demonstrate that excellent
software can be created quickly and inexpensively.
Those who have been ripping off unsuspecting legal professionals, law enforcement
agencies, court administrators, prison officials, and technologically ignorant
politicians holding the purse strings by telling them this stuff is complicated to
create, takes years to create, and must cost millions or even hundreds of millions of
dollars for court, prison, or law enforcement systems, and hundreds or thousands
for individuals, are not going to like this site. That's just fine.
To get started, click on any button above that lists a software program such as RCP
CALCRIM. If you like the software, use it and encourage your friends to use it
instead of letting them waste money on commercial software that doesn't even work
well. If you're a taxpayer, get all over any politician that supports handing your
hard-earned tax dollars over to any of the several IT vendors who have been
siphoning off hundreds of millions of dollars from county and state treasuries, and
often for software that is just plain awful.
From time to time new items will be listed.
California attorneys handling appointed criminal appeals might want to take a look
at CalAppealForms, a series of templates to automate many administrative tasks
commonly encountered when handling criminal appeals under appointment from a
Court of Appeal or the California Supreme Court. The entire series is available on
CD-ROM for $150 plus tax. $162.38 total. I use these templates every day in my
criminal appellate work. To order, send your check payable to Richard Power to the
address shown on the contact page.
