Magistrates, Senior Lawyer Seek end into Analogue judiciary in Nigeria

Legal luminary and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Mrs Funmi Quadri has canvassed for an end into analogue judiciary system in Nigeria if quick dispensation of justice is to be quaranteed as being witnessed in the advanced world.

The legal giant challenged the leadership of the country’s judiciary to vigorously and rigorously purse technically driven new judicial system and practices to decongest court cases, prisons and advance the course of quick justice delivery.

The senior lawyer recalled that the Supreme Court has in the wake of outbreak of covid-19 given stamp of authority to video conference and pleaded that the system be further developed to facilitate quick determination of cases in the country.

“Iam aware of adveerse effects of writing in long hands on Judges and Magistrates. By the time digital system is fully entrenched in our judiciary system, not only will the course of justice will be advanced but the judicial officers will in no small way be better for It”

In his remarks, the Chairman of the Magistrates association in the FCT, Musa Abdulrasaq Eneye said that judiciary as undeniable intrinsic part of democratic system of government in any clime remains strategic and must keep pace with the advanced world for better practice.

“The need to move in the direction of better service delivery and efficacy in the performance of our judicial functions through the use of information and Communication Technology ICT remains sacrosanct if we must move in line with global best practices”

Magistrate Eneye explained that electronic law tools, internet availability, smart devices, hard and softwares are no longer alien to a progressive legal system adding “our jobs are made easier when we are equipped with updated tools for the dispensation of justice”
