“…Additionally, the e-filing system expedites the processing of cases by reducing the time and resources required to process and manage paper files [31]. With the e-filing system, court officials can manage cases more efficiently, and cases can be processed more quickly, thereby enhancing the overall performance of the judicial system.…”

“…The widespread adoption of e-filing in Malaysian courts has been instrumental in enhancing the effectiveness of the legal system [26]. E-filing has decreased the time and effort required to file and manage legal documents and pleadings, making it simpler for both attorneys and litigants to access the court system [31]. In addition, the e-filing system has enabled the courts to manage a greater volume of cases, thereby reducing the backlog of cases and ensuring that justice is delivered promptly.…”

The e-filing system has revolutionised Malaysia's legal landscape, replacing traditional paper-based systems with electronic presentations that offer many benefits. These benefits include enhanced productivity, reduced paperwork, improved document tracking, and easier access to legal processes. However, there is a need for more scholarly literature in the context of e-filing in family law matters in Malaysia to expand the impact and feasibility of adopting e-filing in Malaysian family court cases. The research methodology involves library-based research involving secondary databases of textbooks, journal articles, government reports, and independent educational websites to investigate the historical aspects of e-filing systems in general and in Malaysian courts. The study found that the e-filing systems in Malaysia offer greater accessibility and availability to court services, benefiting individuals with mobility issues and remote areas. These systems allow parties to file documents and access case information remotely, providing equal access to justice and reducing geographical barriers. E-filing contributes to cost savings and environmental sustainability by reducing paper waste and energy consumption. Family matters require adopting methods and technologies to expedite court processes. In the broader context, it is imperative to highlight that technology has played a critical role in ensuring Malaysia's continued and uninterrupted operation of family courts.

The management of electronic records has been a burning issue in many sectors, particularly the justice sector. Criminal justice institutions, such as courts and ministries of justice, suffer from inadequate management of court records, which undermines the legal and judicial systems. South African courts are overburdened with backlogs, delays, and corruption due to poor electronic record management. The dysfunctional management of electronic records has led to poor service delivery and justice for citizens. These concerns provided the impetus for research to assess the management of electronic records at Temba Magistrates’ Court in the North West Province of South Africa. To achieve the stated aim, the study adopted a qualitative approach through a case study design. Data were collected by conducting interviews with purposely selected records officers, a records manager, registry clerks and document controllers. The findings of the study indicated that Temba Magistrates’ Court has put in place relevant legislation and policies for managing electronic records. The study findings showed that staff are not complying with records management policy. The major findings of the study revealed that the Temba Magistrates’ Court has experienced unforeseen consequences, including a backlog of cases, challenges of data storage, loss, and misplacement of electronic court records resulting from poor records management practices. The study concluded with recommendations for the need to motivate and encourage staff members to adhere to the records management policy. The study also revealed the need to adopt multifactor authentication mechanisms such as biometrics, passwords, and fingerprints to reduce or prevent unauthorised access to electronic court records. A comprehensive records management programme should be developed and implemented. It is concluded that staff members working at Temba Magistrates’ Court should be suitably trained in all aspects of electronic court management.

Interaction by means of technology has been prominent in both public and private lives of people. Hence technological variation of information has been upgraded through the application of artificial intelligence, delivering an optimistic opportunity for speedy justice. A computer with strong AI exhibits all the behaviors that you would expect from a human. Hitherto, all state institutions are imperative to the functions of the state, with the judiciary holding the category of a nucleus in the system. The laws are disseminated through the courts. Unfortunately, in Pakistan, legal practice remains shy of the ultimate goal, which certainly circumvents the enaction of the judiciary. The number of cases outnumber the holding capacity to resolve them, as the mega pile up is tantamount to the lack of resources at hand. The judicial system is deprived of an effective case-flow management system, which is certainly considered an international best practice in the legal realm. The researcher has explored avenues to incorporate plausible information technology solutions to the problem in existence. Albeit inquiring through doctrinal and non-doctrinal approaches of the qualitative inquiry, the application of artificial intelligence technology in judicial proceedings is available. Only some realms of the judicial procedure are with artificial intelligence including but not limited to electronic case filing, research, and case-flow management. Hitherto, subsequent finding has alluded after the fact the practical awareness or usage of the system doesn’t seem to be an application. Promulgated regulations pertaining to the case-flow management have yet to be ratified through the parliament, tantamount to the lack of concerns, albeit assertions in the governing elite about the issue. Our article envisages of pioneering Artificial Intelligence in Judicial case-flow Management systems of Pakistan, as remedies towards conveyance of quicker justice, e- court services, plausible solutions, and considerate phenomenon. The Case Management System (CMS) is the insightful, interface for administering court justice in the world. It's an international best practice, which applies artificial intelligence as a core tool to implement international best practices. Inevitably, oblivion to this system, will impede progress, as the lack of technological infrastructure, socio-economic corridors, non-optimizing performance generators. Pakistan’s current ranking is stuck at 130/160, in judicial affairs in world ranking. The comprehensive analysis and shined in this article will enable enactment of artificial intelligence in the Pakistani judicial system. Apart from the mainstream, the designated fields, to be digitalised will be indicated in the initial phase. The judicial process in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan will be indicative of artificial intelligence technology, alongside the case-flow management system could be programmed for complete digitalization of the judicial backups. Furthermore, this study alludes to the point that AI is a useful rather significant element which can be compatible with the Pakistan judicial system in the fields of e-filing and CMS. AI has a great future and significant work will be done in it so for that purpose we discussed the recent past and future of this field also
