The 44th District Court in Royal Oak has a new online case look-up system, the first of its kind in Oakland County, and one of the first in Michigan's district courts. Court Administrator Gary Dodge told the Oakland Press the court received two new programs late last month.
One goal is to vastly reduce the number of phone calls the court has to handle each day on simple matters of court dates, fines and the status of cases, according to Dodge. The website will also allow users to review each day's docket and look up court cases. Users can access the system through the city's website at http://romi.gov under the Government tab or directly at http://romi.gov/904/Court-Judicial-Services.
