5 Use of Information Technology

1. The e-filing-and-case-management: the courts' Case Information System (the digitized registration, the cause-lists, the case-status tracking — the public-facing systems); 2. The video-conference hearings: the remote testimony (the vulnerable witnesses; the detained parties; the COVID-era normalization — the virtual hearing's constitutional practice); 3. The e-evidence: the electronic records' admission (the ETA 2063's recognition — Contract-I's e-contract companion, this semester); the audio-visual evidence practice (the recorded statements' discipline); 4. The records-and-execution digitization: the judgment databases (the SC's-and-NKP's electronic repositories — the legal-research revolution: the nepalkanoon-era access); the execution's tracking; 5. The e-justice services: the cause-lists' SMS-and-app delivery; the certified copies' online orders; the ODR beginnings (the small claims' online pilots); 6. The framework's gaps: the cybersecurity-and-privacy questions; the digital divide (the rural access); the formal rules' catch-up (the e-filing's statutory authorization).
