To help ensure that folks don't miss court dates, the State of North Carolina created a court date notification system. However, this system is not integrated with a case number lookup tool, which is available in a completely different system. The goal of this project is to streamline the look-up and sign-up process to the extent possible, without building a whole new, parallel system. We could use some help from someone with React skills.
