JTAC at the Judicial Conference

Another successful and informative Judicial Conference is over!

In addition to offering a LexisNexis Refresher course, JTAC staff provided our ‘Internet Café’ and Demo Room. One of our favorite stories to tell about the JTAC Room is how, with a few laptop computers, an all-in-one printer (scan, fax, print), and an Internet connection, we are able to help judges continue the business of their court while attending the conference.Read More

Public Access and Case Numbers

We discovered a hiccup in the Public Access website recently, so please help us get the word out.

If a case is manually created within Odyssey (where the case number is entered by the user instead of automatically generated), it is important that the user INCLUDE THE DASHES using the following format (per Administrative Rule 8):

53C01-0808-MI-12345

If the dashes are not included, then the case can only be found on a Public Access search if the searcher includes the dashes in the case number.
