Abstract
THE ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS THAT PRECEDED IMPLEMENTATION OF PROMIS REVEALED THE INADEQUACY OF THE EXISTING METHOD OF RECORDING JACKET NOTATIONS. THE REDESIGNED JACKET STRUCTURES THE ENTRY OF NOTATIONS SO THAT THEY ARE RECORDED IN A COMPREHENSIVE, UNIFORM MANNER. THE JACKET CONTAINS PREPRINTED INFORMATION BLOCKS ON THE FRONT AND BACK OUTSIDE COVERS FOR USE IN DOCUMENTING THE PROGRESS OF THE CASE. THE JACKET INFORMATION ACQUAINTS PROSECUTORS WITH THE KEY FACTS ABOUT A CASE, INCLUDING ITS PRINCIPALS AND CURRENT STATUS; CONVEYS INSTRUCTIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE SCREENING PROSECUTOR TO THE PROSECUTORS IN THE ARRAIGNMENT AND PRESENTMENT COURTS; AND INDICATES THE ACTION TAKEN ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS. COPIES OF THE JACKET COVERS AND COMMENTS ON THE INFORMATION BLOCKS ARE INCLUDED. FOR OTHER ISSUES IN THIS SERIES, SEE NCJ 44750-44764 AND 44766-44770.
