How Do You Celebrate Pro Bono Awareness Month?

October is Pro Bono Awareness Month. 

2013 Indianapolis Bar President, Kerry Hyatt Blomquist, makes a compelling case for doing pro bono work to attorneys in her short article "Using your Powers for Good: Build Your Practice with Pro Bono", recently published in the Indianapolis Bar Association insert in the Oct. 9-22, 2013 issue of the Indiana Lawyer. 

Doxpop supports the pro bono effort in Indiana by providing free Doxpop access to the Pro Bono District Coordinators and the staff in their offices. We also are pleased to provide a substantial matching gift again this year in raising funds for our locally supported pro bono office.

Please join us in encouraging and thanking Indiana attorneys across the state who use their powers for good by assisting those who deserve better representation than they can afford, and who become better lawyers in the process.

A fun new feature for Recorded Documents in Shelby, Franklin, Jennings, Randolph, Union and Vermillion Counties.

Do you use Doxpop to research Recorded Documents in any County that uses the WTH "ThinkGIS" system for displaying parcel information on the web?

If so, you can now go from viewing the Deed for a parcel on Doxpop to viewing that parcel's information on the county GIS system with a single click!

To try this, look up a recent deed in any of the following counties:

• Shelby
• Franklin
• Jennings
• Randolph
• Union 
• Vermillion

Then go to the "document details" page and click on the "map" link in the "Property Information" area. (Be patient- it sometimes takes the map a while to load.)

Pretty cool, Huh? 

New "stealth" feature released, and more on the way!

This weekend, Doxpop released a stealth feature that you have to know about in order to use it. Read on to join the inner circle...

The results on a Court Case Search can now be sorted by clicking on the column headings. When you click on the heading, the results will be re-displayed with a small arrow indicating whether the sort is in ascending or descending order.

The only limitation on the sorting feature is that you can't use it if a search returns more than 1000 results. In that situation, narrow your results down first by using the "refine search" link.

Sorting also works in your "My saved cases" list.


Here are a few other browser-based features you might want to try out when working with large lists:

• To get to the bottom or top of the list quickly, use the [End] and [Home] keys next to your keypad.

• To scroll through the results one page at a time, use the [Page Up] and [Page Down] keys.

• To find all occurrences of a particular word or name in a large list, use [Ctrl]-[F] (just like the "find" shortcut in most word processors) and enter the word or name you are searching for.

We are testing the sorting feature in preparation for rolling out a similar feature for the recorded document results, watch this blog for the announcement of that change!

Hancock County Converts to Odyssey

Hancock County has just made the switch to JTAC's Odyssey System for management of court cases. We wanted to take a moment to update our customers on some oddities you may notice while this change takes place. The most important thing to remember is that all Hancock County information will remain available on Doxpop. All other Doxpop counties are not affected by this change.

How does this change affect Doxpop customers in Hancock County?

The biggest change taking place is that Hancock County will no longer be participating in Doxpop's online fine payment service. Here are a few other changes worth mentioning:

• When you use Doxpop's personal calendar feature, you will see two colors for Hancock County on your calendar. Every event will be available, but the older cases will have a different color from the newer cases. When we complete the merge process, these will go back to being a single color.
• When you look at Hancock County's Details Page, you will find two entries for each court until the merge is complete.
• If you use any of our email alert services, you may receive extra notifications during the transition period.
• When you are doing searches, you will find two entries for some cases. This is because while we are loading the information from Odyssey, we will also be maintaining the old data until the operation is complete to ensure you don't miss anything. When you see two case entries, please look at both to ensure you have the most current information.

• The only lasting change in available information is the financial information. The Indiana Division of State Court Administration has informed us that the clerks using the Odyssey system prefer that financial information not be made public. The Clerks in the other 48 counties we serve have decided that this is useful information that the public should have access to, so we're puzzled that only Clerks using Odyssey have decided not to share this information. If you think financial transactions are an important part of the public record, please ask the clerks you work with to contact the Division about making it available through Doxpop.

This transition should not take long and everything will be back to normal within a week.

If you have any questions regarding this transition, please call our toll free number at 866-369-7671.
