Criminal orders picklists
Picklists are lists of standardized terms for court orders.
Picklists are available on courtroom computers so a court clerk<p><span lang="EN-US">A Court Services Branch employee who helps the judge inside the court room. Some of their responsibilities include recording the court proceedings, marking and recording the list of exhibits and swearing in witnesses.</span><span> </span></p> 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."
