All new cases initiated in JIS between October 7, 1999 and January 1, 2004, have the following information in the case number format:

Example: 02CV786021
02 = 2 digit Year
CV = Case Type (CV-Civil, CR-Criminal, PR-Probate etc.)
786021 = 6 digit sequential case number in the range assigned to the circuit
