The Magisterial District Judge System (MDJS) is a comprehensive case management system that serves all magisterial district judge courts, including central and night courts and the Pittsburgh Municipal Court. Approximately 3,000 users are on this system. The magisterial district judge courts have jurisdiction over traffic, non-traffic, criminal, private criminal, civil, landlord/tenant and miscellaneous actions. Civil and landlord/tenant actions are limited to judgment amounts not to exceed $12,000. The system includes case management, forms and reports production and accounting functionality. The criminal case information in the MDJS can be pulled into the CPCMS when a case is held or waived to the Common Pleas Court, thus eliminating the need for redundant data entry. In late 2007, the AOPC started work on a complete rewrite of the system, using current technology and its enterprise approach to system development. The rollout of the new software began in 2010.
