Cyber Courts: Using the Internet to Assist Court Processes
Abstract As the business world increasingly recognises the Internet as a place where commercial dealings can take place, the legal system will need to be equipped to not only understand the Internet, but use it as a tool to successfully exchange, and use, information. This paper investigates the ways in which the Internet can be, and has been, used throughout the court system and how technology can improve a legal system which is increasingly overburdened. Initiatives such as electronic filing and legal research will be discussed.
