The Kansas Court System may have most of its online aspects restored and available for public use by the end of the year.
Public Information Director Lisa Taylor says the eCourt management system should be up and running by the end of the year, with a plan to “reintroduce” the centralized case data and register of actions in stages to district courts across the state. The eFiling system, used by attorneys and “justice partners” for electronic document filing, will come back online once eCourt is fully restored.
The District Court Public Access Portal, used by the general public, media outlets and others, will be third to reappear. While the portal remains offline, residents will need to make court payments by cash, check or money order.
All other connected systems will be restored as soon as possible.
Information systems were brought to a halt in mid-October after a foreign cyberattack. Taylor says the recovery plan announced earlier this week follows best practices for handling such an event — but she also says the tentative schedule is still subject to change.
