This project is part of the judicial
sector's 2022-2026 strategic plan, which aims to improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of the sector's technological infrastructure. By leveraging
modern technology, the project will accelerate and simplify litigation
procedures, ultimately leading to more efficient justice delivery.
During the inaugural event, the
project's main features were emphasized. The remote trial project was developed
in partnership with the JJC, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), and the
Public Security Directorate (PSD). Its implementation began in 2019, resulting in more than
9,000 remote experiments. This idea drastically lowered the costs of
transporting detainees and accelerated legal proceedings.
Judge Dr. Noual Al-Jawhari, a JJC
member and President of the Irbid Court of Appeals, has stressed
digitalization's revolutionary impact on the justice sector. She compared the
current situation to the pre-2000 age, emphasizing the significant progress made
via the use of technology. This reform has increased the quality of judicial
operations and sped up case resolution.
The official spokesperson for the JJC,
Ali Al-Masimi, emphasized the importance of the electronic court filing
project. It intends to completely transform paper-based judicial files to
electronic format, allowing judges to examine case files remotely without the
need for physical transfers. This strategy ensures the confidentiality of
important papers and data.
The completion of this initial phase is
the first step toward making judicial files available to legal representation
and litigants. Notably, simultaneous archiving of judicial documents has been
accomplished, allowing each judicial body to immediately archive trial
procedures, evidence, and memos when the session has concluded.
As part of the 2023 achievements, the
Technical Office was formed at the Court of Appeals in Irbid in the fourth
quarter of the previous year. This office is critical in providing technical
and administrative support to the judicial bodies of the court.
