Amending Dispositions

After a disposition is entered for a charge, the disposition can be amended if it is later changed.

Dispositions are added and maintained from the Disposition tab on a criminal case. To amend a disposition:

Select a case.

Select the Disposition tab.

Click Disposition in the Charge Disposition header.

Select a defendant.

Click Amend Disposition in the Dispositions Entered section.

Complete the fields.

Note: If all the dispositions should be changed, select one disposition and click to copy the disposition to all the other charges listed.

Click Save (ALT+S).

When a disposition is added or amended, a new record is added to the offense history. However, when a disposition is modified a new offense history record is not created. Instead, the modified disposition information overwrites the existing offense history record.
