LAGOS JUDICIARY AND THE INTRODUCTION OF E-FILING

At a stakeholders summit on Judiciary Information System (JIS) Introduction of e-filing and an appraisal of the Lagos High Court Civil Procedure Rules 2012, organised by the state judiciary, the state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice Ade Ipaye said the system will no doubt ensure speedy dispensation of justice. 

It was a giant leap for Lagos State judiciary on September 24, 2013 when the third arm of government set once again, another milestone in the business of justice dispensation by introducing Judicial Information System (JIS) which is also known as electronic filing or simply put, e-filing.

For an institution that has succeeded over the years in setting precedents, the introduction of e-filing no doubt offers great excitement to many legal practitioners in the state and that include, the judges, lawyers and their administrative staff.

This indeed is a great milestone by the Lagos judiciary and their ever dynamic administration of justice dispensation.
