Town Council approves transition to Indiana's Odyssey court management system

The Mooresville Town Council meeting on June 20, 2025, focused on the urgent need to transition to a new case management system for the local court. The current system, operated by Key Court, is ceasing operations, prompting the court to adopt the Odyssey system, which has been in use by superior circuit courts across the state for over 15 years.

During the meeting, a court representative highlighted that all city and town courts were not mandated to switch to Odyssey until now, but the necessity has become clear. The representative noted that at a recent judges' conference, nearly all attendees praised the Odyssey system for its effectiveness and ease of use. The state fully funds the system, requiring only that local courts maintain their hardware.

The transition is expected to eliminate significant annual costs associated with the current system, which has been financially burdensome. A representative from the state will assess the court's hardware to ensure compatibility with Odyssey.

To proceed with the transition, the council was presented with a resolution that requires their approval. The representative indicated that they would prepare a document for council members to sign, ensuring all necessary parties are on board with the switch to the new system.

This change marks a significant step for the Mooresville court, aligning it with statewide practices and improving operational efficiency. The council's approval will facilitate the transition to a system that has received widespread endorsement from judicial colleagues across Indiana.
