The Indiana Supreme Court has partnered with Ivy Tech Community College to provide computer training at 26 regional locations for all judicial employees, including employees of city and town courts, and clerk office employees who work with the courts.
A variety of computer classes are available to assist courts and county clerks in taking advantage of the many technology tools available. The relevance of this program has increased significantly with the development of a host of technology applications being deployed by the Supreme Court for use by the courts. This educational opportunity provides the basic computer skills for all those who need to work with the new applications.
“As we offer more and more tools to courts and clerks, basic computer skills are becoming a must have for all users. It is important that our judges, clerks and their staffs have the necessary skills that enable them to work with our new applications such as the Protection Order Registry, Marriage License e-File , the electronic Citation and Warning System and ultimately, the state-wide case management system, Odyssey. That is why we are offering these computer classes at no cost to the trial courts and clerks,” said Lilia Judson, executive director of the Division of State Court Administration.
Since the inception of this program, more than 1,400 people from 81 counties have taken advantage and have completed basic computer training.
Trial court judges of courts of record and their employees, elected circuit court clerks and their employees (i.e., judges, magistrates, commissioners, court reporters, court administrators) and judges and staff of city, town and the Marion County Small Claims courts are all eligible.
