Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for coordinating court scheduling with subpoena and summons notification processes for any employee of a government organization or citizen. The system preferably uses a standard web interface to receive court dates from various courts within a city and or county (or other government entity), automates the notification to government employees to appear or standby, and receives verification of their receipt of their notification. If there are conflicts in the court date and the individual being requested to appear or standby, the system automatically notifies the issuer and coordinates the proper notification alternative action automatically.
