Morocco’s judicial system has launched a digital court project at the court of cassation of Rabat, reports Liberation. If successful, the pilot will be extended to all of the chambers of the court in the next five years. The experiment covers areas such as electronic legal document archives, management systems, remote forensic evaluations and online case files shared in real time through in-court notebook computers. The court’s strategic plan for 2013-2017 also refers to digital courts using new technologies to facilitate procedures, unify judicial interpretations and increase the quality of decisions. Citizens will be able to file complaints electronically and case management will be improved through online communications between the court and users. The digital court project will set up an integrated training system, with incentives to learn how to use the new technologies to improve court personnel productivity.
