Design and Implementation of Web-Based Legal Practitioner Application System

Design and Implementation of Web-Based Legal Practitioner Application System.

ABSTRACT

The system is designed in order to successfully communicate legal activities on the web and allowing for a more transparent judicial system.

The web based application system addresses the initial problems of the previous system in handling judicial matters which hitherto involves a lot of “paper works” which is usually done manually and this lead to a lot of delayed cases and also lacked of transparency.

The current system addresses the issues that were encountered by the previous system, cases are now easily entered online and the judgment of such cases are also published online for everyone who has access to the system to view making it more transparent; the current system also helps to reduce lots of “paper work” that was synonymous with the previous system, making legal activities more faster in execution.
