Abstract:
Full and accurate case information is the backbone for a fair case decision. This process of justice dispensation could only be achieved with a systematic information and records management in courts. The state of the art courtroom technologies offers the mechanism for this realization. Many countries around the globe started using the technologies for this purpose, among others through digitization of court case information, electronic case filing, online payment and transactions, real-time transcription, recording of full hearing, remote hearing through teleconferencing; online expect testimony and so on. As a result, case disposal rate is increasing, at the same time, reducing the large number of old backlogged cases. This paper discussed the court’s information and records management focusing on its technological aspects. The second part of this paper discussed about information system theories influencing IT implementation in courts. The Task-Technology Fit theory and the Socio-Technical Fit theory is considered to be necessary in the course of IT implementation in courts.
