Alabama Appellate Courts System transforms and modernizes judicial operations with Azure.
"In the words of Blake T. Lunsford, Director of Information Technology at Alabama Appellate Courts System (AACS) their "technology infrastructure was functional but lagging behind modern standards...and faced limitations in terms of system integration, scalability, and security capabilities."
Microsoft empowered Lunsford's AACS IT team to modernize a new case management system while also upgrading to Windows 11 Enterprise and Microsoft 365 Government.

What is the goal of the Alabama Appellate Courts System's modernization?
The Alabama Appellate Courts System (AACS) aims to transform its judicial operations to become one of the most modern courts in the nation. This involves digitizing justice systems to ensure secure and transparent proceedings, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and accessibility of the appellate process.
How is AACS improving security and data management?
AACS is migrating its operations to Microsoft Azure, which provides a secure cloud environment. This includes implementing multifactor authentication, deploying Microsoft Sentinel for monitoring, and using Microsoft Defender for advanced threat protection. These steps are designed to strengthen data security and ensure compliance with legal industry standards.
What benefits do justices and attorneys gain from the new system?
The modernization allows justices and over 6,000 outside attorneys to access information and file motions remotely, eliminating the need for physical travel to the courts. This has streamlined processes for submissions and improved transparency in case tracking, making operations more efficient for all users.
