THE RAMIFICATION OF TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVES IN SYARIAH COURTS

Abstract

Case settlement suffered hindrance due to legal technicalities and legal jurisdictions in the Syariah Courts. Thus, technology initiatives were inculcated as administrative reforms in upgrading the quality of services of Syariah Courts in all states. This paper explores these technology initiatives in reducing a backlog of cases by improving and standardizing record management system in the Syariah Courts. A qualitative legal interpretive method was used which focused on the understanding of the contextually reported binding precedents with the review on relevant statutes. The paper concluded with an overview of the ramification of technology initiatives in lieu of legal jurisdictions that are best suited for better adjudication in terms of providing fair and adequate justice to the parties.
