Under the leadership of Chief Justice Toal, the South Carolina Judicial Department (SCJD) is in the midst of an ambitious multi-year plan to modernize the operations of the South Carolina Courts. The Judicial Automation Program is integrating technology into all eight levels of court in South Carolina, from the Supreme Court to the Summary Courts. These efforts are utilizing a phased, building block approach.

The program was initiated with the development of an SCJD Strategic Technology Plan by BearingPoint (formerly KPMG Consulting) during the year 2000. This plan identified five fundamental technology initiatives that have formed the basis for SCJD modernization efforts:

Network Infrastructure Project
Web Portal Project
Statewide Court Case Management System
Call Center Project
Appellate Imaging System Project
