upkarlidder commented 3 years ago

Background on the problem the feature will solve/improved user experience

Open Sentencing's UI has a lot of potential to be a powerful tool for public defenders. However, some features have not been fully implemented, and others require improvements to improve the usability and user experience.

Describe the solution you'd like

Upgrade the existing UI pages with more advanced and interactive components that improves the look, feel and user experience for the end user. Ensure UI is pulling in real data with help from backend team.
