We invite you to review the Georgia Court of Appeals web-based docket inquiry system now available for use of parties, lawyers and the public. Beginning September 1, 2003, the docket inquiry can be accessed at:_____________________. The inquiry system was developed by in-house technology staff using ______________software.

Parties and attorneys will now be able to search the docket for any case by case number, party name, or short style of the case. The docket filings and actions of the court and the date of such activities will be displayed on the automated docket. With increasing caseloads in the Court (the number of cases filed in the court calendar year 2003 increased by 5%) this application should prove useful in assisting the court to continue to provide rapid access to information while reducing the number of telephone calls that must be answered by Court staff.

For further information about the web-based docket contact:_____________________.
