COR 004.01 | Uniform Record Keeping System

The Missouri statewide court automation system is the uniform record keeping system for the circuit court and is mandatory as to the form, style, and maintenance of records dealing with civil, criminal, juvenile, probate, mental health, family court, traffic and municipal cases.

Any division of the circuit court may use its existing manual or automated system, and any upgrades approved by the state judicial records committee, until such time as the statewide court automation system is available for implementation in that division.

Nothing in this COR 4.01 prohibits a division of the circuit court from entering, maintaining, or archiving records on cases filed before the available implementation date of the statewide court automation system for that division in the same manual or automated system as used in such division on the day before such implementation date, provided that the system was in compliance with all applicable court operating rules at that time and is thereafter maintained and operated in accordance with such rules.
