KIGALI, RWANDA - Rwanda's judiciary is in the process of introducing an electronic filing system in the country and it is expected to be operational by mid 2012.
The Rwanda high court president, Johnston Busingye said the new system when adopted in the country will improve the administrative justice.
"The electronic filing system will allow the legal community to register cases as well as file case documents online," Busingye said.
He added that the electronic filing process will reduce the cost of filing, eliminate much of the paper handling involved and it will permit courts to function efficiently.   "Traditionally, court documents are filed manually over the court registry counter in paper form,” Busingye noted.
