Criminal orders picklists
Picklists are lists of standardized terms for court orders.
Picklists are available on courtroom computers so a court clerk can use them to quickly and accurately capture the order a judge makes. When a judge decides to change the standard wording, a court clerk can edit the term accordingly. Picklists include number codes that help the court clerk find a term quickly. When a judge says a number before making an order, they are helping the clerk find that order.
For example you might hear a judge say "1106". This lets the court clerk know that the judge is referring to a term that says "You must attend each court appearance unless this Court excuses you."
