New PAC Invoicing System to speed up processing and Payment of Fee Applications
IDS has built a simple website for PAC (Private Assigned Counsel) to electronically invoice IDS promptly after their fee apps are loaded into the eCourts File & Serve platform and accepted by the clerk.
OASIS, the new Online Attorney State Invoice System, is designed to modernize operations and speed up payments. OASIS will allow IDS to pay PAC attorneys in a more timely manner.
OASIS can be used only for non-capital, adult criminal cases at the trial level and only in eCourts counties.
OASIS IS NOT OPTIONAL
**Once OASIS goes live in your county, it is the only way for PAC who do adult criminal casework to bill for/request payment.
Judges, Clerks and PAC will be contacted directly by IDS staff, prior to the announcement of each go-live date.

OASIS is an IDS initiative designed to work in tandem with eCourts, which is an NCAOC initiative, and which began rollout in February 2023*. OASIS will not rollout on the same schedule as eCourts. IDS will keep you apprised as we revise and implement the OASIS roll-out schedule.
*For reference, you can track the NCAOC eCourts rollout schedule with the map here.
