The Applications Programming Section is responsible for the development and the
maintenance of all automated systems supporting the information management needs
of the Alabama Unified Judicial System (UJS). This includes, but is not limited
to, the requirements of the Administrative Office of Courts (AOC); of state District
and Circuit Courts; and of the Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court.
What We Do
- First and foremost, we design, develop, test, implement and maintain the mainframe
and server based applications that comprise the Alabama Statewide Judicial Information
System (SJIS).
- We also provide project management functions to our contractors and business partners.
Specifically we: Perform system analysis; develop product specifications; test,
approve and implement new systems; and serve as a mediator between our user groups
and our contractors.
- Finally, we satisfy special data processing requests submitted by our users and
other agencies. These request range from ad hoc reports to system wide enhancements.
Who we are
There are seven programmer/analysts with over seven decades of aggregate experience
that make-up the Applications Team at the AOC:
- Steve LeVeque, Manager, Mainframe Developer
- Tommy Harris, Applications Programmer Supervisor
- Paula Collins, Mainframe Programmer
- Dolli Cook, Applications Programmer
- James Dozier, Applications Programmer
- JessePaul Jackson, Applications Programmer

The Environment
- There are 1,984 mainframe applications and over 500 server based applications currently
in production that make-up the SJIS.
- The SJIS is the primary medium used to support the day-to-day operations of the
Unified Judicial System.
Mainframe Applications
Ninety-eight percent of the SJIS resides within the mainframe environment. This
includes all major systems and sub-systems. All mainframe development is performed
in-house by our mainframe developers. Supported systems include:
- Alabama Criminal System (ACR)
- Alabama Traffic System (ATS)
- Alabama Civil System (AVS)
- Alabama Juvenile System (AJV)
- Alabama Jury Management System (JMS)
- Alabama Warrant System (AWAR)
- Civil Accounting System (FEV)
- Criminal/Traffic Accounting System (FEE)

to enhance service to our users.

- ALAFILE
- HRDesktop
- eNotices
- ALAPAY
- eCitation/vCitation

Errors and Trouble Calls
- As stated previously, one of our key functions is to satisfy data processing requests
or DPRs submitted by our users. We utilize an automated DPR system to track and
manage any task that requires analysis or programming.
- The DPR system is also the primary tool to manage errors that occur from time-to-time
within an application.
