Court automation: Lawyers laud Rivers Judiciary

Lawyers under the umbrella of the Eastern Bar Forum (EBF) have commended the Rivers State Judiciary on its e-filing and Court Automation platform.

In a congratulatory letter to the Chairman of the Rivers State Judiciary ICT Committee, Justice Elsie Thompson, recently titled ‘Rivers State e-filing platform: Letter of commendation’, the forum noted, “What many saw as impossible has been made possible because of your sincerity of purpose, doggedness and sense of responsibility.”

Signed by Mr. S. Long Williams and Sir Ray Akanwa, Chairman and secretary of the forum respectively, the umbrella forum said: “We, on behalf of the entire 45 NBA branches in the Eastern Bar Forum, felicitate with you and the entire Rivers State Judiciary on the one-year anniversary of the launch of the e-filing platform in the Rivers State Judiciary.”

While commending Justice Thompson, the EBF noted the good works of the Chief Judge of Rivers State, Justice Adama Iyayi-Lamikanra for the ICT which will build an independent, transparent, accountable and efficient justice system for serving the citizens.

The EBF said the system will initiate lasting reforms in the justice sector, replace the archaic procedures and outmoded administrative and management systems, ICT solutions at the Rivers State Judiciary, and provide end-to-end automation of the case flow system.
