DCS Caseload Report Reminder - December 2024

All JIS DCS Courts:

The end of the year is fast approaching! JIS encourages courts to begin running the caseload report in your application to review the data and correct any errors to ensure the data is accurate prior to uploading/syncing and verifying the report in MCAP in January.

In preparation for submitting your caseload report, we recommend you read through Knowledge Article 11496: DCS/WebDCS - Preparing Caseload and Delay in Criminal Proceedings with a Change in Judge. Key points of discussion in this article include:

• This document is intended for District Court System (DCS) courts with a new judge taking the bench in January.
• The DCS annual Caseload Report does not account for Judge of Record “as of” a certain date.
• The court’s annual Caseload Report and 4th Quarter Delay in Criminal Proceedings Report must be submitted to the SCAO Michigan Court Application Portal (MCAP), Caseload Reporting System (CRS) and Delay in Criminal Proceedings (DCP) applications before all the open files can be reassigned to a new judge.

The Self-Service Portal hosts many additional resources to assist with caseload reporting. You can find them listed in our previously published Caseload Report Reminder - October 2024.

Questions can be submitted via the JIS Self-Service portal or by contacting the DCS Service Desk at dcshelpdesk@courts.mi.gov or 888-339-1547 option 1.
