RCP SOFTWARE DEMONSTRATIONS
So that our legal system in general, and our courts in particular, can operate more efficiently, the author of this
Web site, Richard Power, a criminal appeals attorney from Shingle Springs, California, first created a tool or
system known as RCP CALCRIM. It was well received and we received dozens of inquiries and requests. It
was apparently discussed at a number of lawyer conventions. I hope we got the point across that our courts
can become vastly more efficient and that such tools need not cost a mint.
The purpose of these demonstrations is to show those handling government agency budgets, and the
California court system budget in particular, including both managers in the judicial system and elected
officials in places such as the Legislature, as well as those paying for it such as the taxpayers and litigants,
that computer technology can be used quite effectively to improve efficiency, improve accuracy, and reduce
costs incredibly.
The free RCP CALCRIM system demonstration is now over but this is the tip of the iceberg of what can be
done for improving efficiency and lowering costs in government operations, particularly in our court system.
We have only just begun! Much more can be done either FREE or at nominal cost, unless of course all of you
local superior court administrators like spending millions of dollars of your budget, or having your elected
officials and other government bureaucrats spend up to billions, on things that can be had in better versions
for peanuts.
Note carefully that the RCP CALCRIM system demonstrated earlier could be part of a modern RCP Software
Justice Data Management System that would feature entirely electronic superior court records. RCP
CALCRIM is an example of modular interlocking software. A modern RCP Justice Data Management System
could be built on similar principles and operate just as smoothly.
To run most of the demonstrations you will need Microsoft Office 2007 or later.
Additional Demonstrations
As those of you who operate in the court system regularly will know, there are a number of Judicial Council
forms for standard pleadings. Most are relatively straightforward to design in electronic format. And the JC
has a number of fillable forms that are available on the Web. In a modern system, all or virtually all
documents would be in electronic format. Most such forms are easy to design. However, in addition to such
basic forms, it is possible to enable forms to do various types of calculations and determinations. The
demonstrations here will be limited to the more complex types of forms.
To see the first demonstration, go to the Abstract of Judgment page.
More later
I will put up more demonstrations of the more complex items that could make up a modern system. There's
really no point in bothering with the simple items. Some of them already exist and could be incorporated
easily into a complete system. Each demo will show a component application in a group of applications which
constitute modular interlocking software.
Come back soon to see additional demos and explanations.
