Unified Criminal Docket

The Unified Criminal Docket (UCD) is a system used in some jurisdictions to streamline the management and processing of criminal cases. It consolidates all criminal cases, regardless of their nature or severity, into a single court system. This approach aims to improve efficiency and accessibility, allowing for better tracking of cases and ensuring that defendants receive timely hearings. The UCD makes it easier for judges, lawyers, and the public to navigate the criminal justice process by providing a centralized database for all criminal matters within a particular jurisdiction.
