SC, KOICA partner to modernize judiciary with e-systems

The Supreme Court (SC) has partnered with KOICA Philippines, a South Korean governmental organization for official development assistance, to modernize the country's judicial system.

This partnership aims to implement an electronic case and evidence management system, digitize court records, and provide specialized training for court personnel to reduce case backlogs and streamline adjudication processes using advanced technology.

KOICA will conduct a preliminary survey in Philippine courts from January 6 to 15 to gather crucial data for the project, with plans to roll out the system by next year.

Senior Associate Justice Marvic Leonen emphasized that this collaboration will strengthen the judiciary's modernization efforts and improve artificial intelligence integration such as eCourt PH V2.0 and CALESA Digital.

KOICA Philippines Country Director Kim Eunsub expressed optimism about incorporating South Korea’s advanced information security technologies to pave the way for a more transparent and efficient judicial system in the Philippines.
