For this kind of project, given the stakes involved (e.g. a defendant's freedom), why would you want to use the brand-new framework-of-the-month that the cool kids are using?

I'm all for using the right tool for the job. WebForms code is not possible / extremely difficult to unit test.

The actual codebase itself may be pretty old so WebForms isn't a surprise - the SLN file indicates it was saved with Visual Studio 2010 (https://github.com/propublica/nyc-dna-software/blob/338a1b86...).

Possibly they shouldn't be using bug ridden trash either seems like a compromise ought to be possible.

Webforms are not trash, just very annoying to use as a developer.
