Sana'a: Deputy Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Judge Ibrahim Al-Shami, today launched the first version of the Electronic Judicial System mobile application, aimed at advancing digital transformation within the judiciary. The new system is designed to accelerate and simplify judicial procedures through a secure and integrated digital platform that enables the completion of tasks and access to information electronically across all stages of judicial work.
According to Yemen News Agency, Judge Al-Shami, accompanied by Judge Abdu Rajeh, Undersecretary for Court Affairs, Judge Ahmed Al-Kuhlani, Head of the Financial and Administrative Affairs Sector, and other judicial officials, listened to a presentation by Engineer Mohammed Al-Haimi, the app's developer, and Engineer Intisar Al-Hamzi, Head of Training at the Judicial Information Center, on the main services the application provides to judicial staff and lawyers.
Al-Haimi and Al-Hamzi explained that the app allows users to perform judicial and administrative tasks remotely at any time, reducing pressure on office computer systems. It enables authorized officials to select governorates and affiliated courts, create and review cases, view daily court sessions, search case files, issue reports, electronically archive hearing records, update case files in real time, and access official digital copies of judicial rulings. The system also streamlines and automates procedural steps, improving efficiency and transparency.
Developers clarified that this initial version is limited to courts and their staff, while future releases will extend services to litigants and lawyers through an online portal, adding more smart features to enhance digital inclusivity across all judicial operations.
During the launch, Deputy Minister Al-Shami commended the technical and administrative teams behind the system, describing it as a significant milestone in the ministry's digital transformation agenda and a qualitative leap in judicial and administrative performance aligned with modern technological advancements.
He emphasized the need to maintain strict standards of confidentiality, privacy, and cybersecurity, and instructed developers to continue updating the system, incorporating legal and technical feedback to ensure continuous improvement and long-term success.
Judge Al-Kuhlani, Head of the Financial and Administrative Affairs Sector, said the electronic judicial system represents a strategic move to cut costs and boost financial efficiency within the judiciary's digital transformation program. He explained that the cost of the digital transformation project-through this application-has been reduced from 3.64 billion Yemeni rials to 394.83 million rials, covering the provision of computers, printers, and monitors for courts across the country.
Judge Al-Kuhlani added that around 400 million rials from the savings will be reallocated to supply solar energy systems to the courts.
