Description

The 28th Judicial District Bar Association Website was created by the need to improve communications, update the local court system effectiveness, and to help reduce the court systems backlog of cases in a quick and efficient manor.  This website will support approximately 550 users consisting of judges, lawyers, Pro Se litigants (those whom represent themselves), clerks, members and non-members of the 28th Judicial District Bar, and the public. UNCA was chosen to design and build this system.  Students from Mr. Turner?s Spring 2004 CSCI 446 Systems Analysis and Design Project class were involved in the initial design phase.  Students from Mr. Turner?s Spring 2004 344 Internet Server-Side Technology class were involved in the creation of the Webmaster?s pages for the initial portion of the site which allowed for database maintenance for the tables needed to support the site.

 

My portion of the website project was to create and complete the database maintenance program pages that allow the Bar?s support staff to maintain the databases necessary for the initial portion of the site.  By creating a website for the Bar with this backend support, the site and databases involved can be accessed by any computer with internet access anywhere in the world.  The software used in the creation of these web pages includes HTML, CSS, ASP, ADO, SQL, Java-Script, and VBScript along with Microsoft Access.  The common database functions in the maintenance programs include add, delete, update, copy, and print support functions along with the ability to select records by filtering and sorting criteria.   Some of the pages were created to only display the data using selected filtering and sorting criteria.
