Abstract:
Access to justice is an important issue in many international justice systems. Increasingly, technology is seen as a potential catalyst for access to justice, especially in terms of improving the justice sector. Major tasks associated with court functions are registration, identification and tracking of cases. A file system that is the key to success in a judgment system. A systematic, efficient and effective case management system provides comprehensive information to the courts to ensure impartial decisions as well as a transparent system that prevents abuse of power or corruption, postponement and delays in decision-making. The general purpose of this study will be to establish the implementation of a file management system in Kenyan courts. The study sought to address the following objectives; to establish the requirements, policies and procedures for the management of the electronic case file system, to establish framework and guidelines for the process of evaluation of a legally maintained computerized case file system and to establish a database for archiving, managing and maintaining case records. The study also looks at the adoption of a case management system as an important part of service delivery to their clients. A case study approach was adopted to ensure greater data reliability. Both standardized and standardized methods have been used to analyze, present and interpret data. To achieve the above objectives, data were collected using observations, questionnaires, documentary reviews, and discussions of Kenyan judicial systems. This approach has been used because the project needs to deal directly with customers and users so that we engineers will know what they really want and how they want the system to work in their feedback after each duplication. The study will outline the requirements, policies, and framework and evaluation process for implementing a file management system. To achieve this from the study we can conclude that more needs to be done to improve the file management system in Kenyan courts through various means of harmonization that will lead to user satisfaction. The system will record new crimes, ownership and existing investigations, which will reduce the judge's work and save time, during court proceedings. A variety of criminal records, major crimes, car crimes, burglary, and drug abuse were kept. Basically, this project will be about applying for a new web application where judges can record new files. In this project I have used the agile model in building my plan because it helps product teams deal with many of the most common project pitfalls (such as cost, schedule forecasting and navigation) in a highly controlled manner
