The Problem with Closed Courts
Miami-Dade County's judicial system processes hundreds of thousands of cases annually. Yet most residents have no practical way to observe proceedings, verify outcomes, or ensure that the system treats everyone fairly.
Remote participation remains an afterthought rather than a design principle. Court records are scattered across physical files and legacy systems. Accountability depends on physical presence — a luxury many working residents can't afford.
MDC-JVSN: The Solution
The Miami-Dade Judicial Video System Network (MDC-JVSN) creates county-owned, county-operated video infrastructure for all judicial proceedings, enabling:
- Remote participation by defendants, witnesses, and attorneys via secure county-provided video link
- Permanent, tamper-proof video record of all proceedings
- Public access portal for non-sealed proceedings
- Integration with the Truth Ledger for immutable case outcome logging
- Accessibility features for residents with disabilities
Why County-Owned Infrastructure?
Existing video court solutions rely on third-party platforms — Zoom, Teams, proprietary vendors — that charge per-minute fees and retain data on private servers. MDC-JVSN uses county-owned servers and open-source video infrastructure, eliminating vendor lock-in and protecting data privacy.
Justice That's Visible Is Justice That's Fair
Sunlight is the best disinfectant. When court proceedings are recorded, accessible, and permanent, bad actors at every level of the system face greater accountability. MDC-JVSN is infrastructure for a fairer Miami-Dade.
