Gavel Transition Communication – Accountability Courts
June 26, 2026 (sent via email on by Taylor Jones, CACJ Executive Director)
As previously communicated, all accountability courts will be transitioning away from CaseWorX and Connexis Cloud to Gavel, the State’s new case management system, by July 1, 2027. Since legacy system access will be discontinued at that time, we are working to transition all accountability courts by the end of the year (2026) to allow for a system enhancement period, additional training, and data integrity assurance.
We have been working closely with fourteen courts across three circuits, Appalachian, Northeastern, and Bell-Forsyth, to ensure the new system is being built and designed to meet the unique needs of our accountability courts and the important work you do every day. Exciting, new features include greater visibility into program participants’ progress, single location data entry that matches existing program workflow, more accurate data for management of our courts, and more reliable reporting, better illustration of behavioral modification system structure, integrated drug testing, among other unique features and functionalities.

Email sent on behalf of Presiding Judge Thomas L. Cole, FY2026 CACJ Executive Committee Chair:
Good afternoon,
This message is sent on behalf of Presiding Judge Thomas L. Cole, CACJ Executive Committee Chair:
Attached is an important message regarding the implementation of a new case management system for Georgia’s accountability courts. Please take a moment to review it. As Chair of the CACJ Executive Committee (EC), I am pleased to announce the adoption of the new CMS, as approved by the EC. This system will formally replace CaseWorX and Connexis beginning in FY 2028 (July 1, 2027).
CACJ’s Data and Research Committee deserves recognition for its leadership on this initiative, as does Ms. Rachel Gage, CACJ’s Director of Data and Research. Her dedication to advancing data‑driven policies and practices within CACJ is exceptional.
Thank you for your continued service to Georgia’s accountability courts.
