With the rise of Information Communication and Technology systems, access to justice has become digitalised through the use of e-justice in the digital age. e-justice systems such as e-filing, electronic case management has been used by individuals to seek redress from court. Despite the presence of e-justice, it has led to digital divide as not all persons are capable of accessing the administration of justice using the e-justice system in the digital age. The problems of the digital divide are the various inequalities that are been faced by individuals who seek redress but are not able to use the digital technologies. There is lack of digital literacy, lack of broadband infrastructure, the presence of poverty and economic hardship, structural inequalities between women and men, especially in the rural areas. This digital divide has been bridge thanks to certain measures such as digital literacy training and infrastructural development and connectivity so as to guarantee access to the administration of justice using the e-justice system. With the rise of digital technologies, there have been the rise of the use of artificial intelligence in the court system which have been used to facilitate legal procedures. This use of artificial intelligence in the court system have been implanted in certain countries such as China and Russia while developments are still being carried out in certain countries such as the African States and the France. |
