ABOUT JANIS

The Juvenile Abuse and Neglect Information System, JANIS, has been developed by the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals under the direction of the West Virginia Court Improvement Program (CIP) Oversight Board. The objective of the system is to facilitate and expedite the handling of child abuse and neglect cases by efficiently generating case orders and motions.

JANIS operates in PC/Windows™ and Macintosh™ environments using FileMaker Pro™ software. The software available for download on this site is a runtime version (requires no additional software) for the PC. A Macintosh™ version is available by request.

The JANIS software offers the following advantages:

  • It is user friendly
  • Case and party information needs to be entered only once
  • Orders can be generated in the courtroom
  • Form language meets statutory and rule requirements
  • Forms may contain stock and custom language
  • Forms act as checklists for the various types of hearings
  • Helps track orders and motions
  • Generates case summary sheets
