“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others”

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony”

“The weak can never forgive; forgiveness is the attribute of the strong”

…Mahatma Gandhi

From the desk of Hon’ble the Acting Chief Justice Shree Subhro Kamal Mukherjee

Growing workload volume and new problems may have overwhelmed Courts that have historically had successful programs. Court systems require effective leadership and management practices to respond to important issues, such as, public trust and confidence, Court and community collaboration, and timeliness and consistency. The demand for increased services from Courts, along with proper strategic planning and team building, can be more easily forecasted and implemented when sound leadership, planning, and organizational change management are in place. Technology offers Courts crucial commodity Information that can help Judicial System make better and quicker decisions, communicate with partner agencies (Prosecutors, Counsels, Service Agencies) and track case outcomes, by building state-of-the-art computer applications. I welcome Information Technology (IT) as a means to improve the administration of justice, for its contribution to the improvement of access to justice, case-management and for its central role in providing information to Judges, lawyers and other stakeholders in the justice delivery system as well as to the public. We often look back at advances made in the past and project forward from them, presuming that new advances will occur at the same rate. But, our belief that computers advance at this linear rate is wrong; in fact, they are advancing exponentially. As we ride this exponential curve, we cannot perceive that our exponential rate of technological advance in the next five years will by far outstrip that of our past five years-- even in our Courts, which may not grasp just how fast computer technology is advancing. This rapid advance is likely to continue prompting Courts to adopt new technologies to meet the public's growing expectations for increased efficiency and accessibility. I encourage the use of all aspects of IT to promote the important role of the Judiciary in guaranteeing the rule of law in a democratic state; advantages in the use of IT, in terms of efficiency, speed and cost, access to legal information and as service to citizens.
