Kankakee County Circuit Clerk Case Management System conversion to Tyler Enterprise Justice
Kankakee County Circuit Clerk office went live with a new court case management system – Tyler Enterprise Justice – on
September 23, 2024. All in all, the transition has been a smooth one.
With one exception.
As part of this implementation, we installed a new public-facing website that will provide information to members of the
public and legal community, sharing basic case information such as hearing dates, etc.
This public facing website is called Portal. The Portal is currently being tested internally by Kankakee staff. The “live”
site is anticipated to be available in early November.
As an interim solution, we are setting up public access to case information at the Courthouse in Room 209. Room 209
will be open and available on weekdays during regular court hours.
We appreciate your patience as we work to provide this critical legal information to our community. We apologize for
the inconvenience and are working hard to get the new Portal up and running quickly.
For any other questions, please call 815-936-5700.
