Through the smart courtrooms established at the zonal center, service users can access these services locally, making the justice system more accessible and convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this arrangement, service users can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>File cases electronically (e-Filing): Submit applications and initiate court cases electronically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Participate in virtual court hearings: Present their arguments remotely through virtual court sessions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Track court hearing schedules: Follow the dates and schedules of their court proceedings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Obtain court documents: Access copies of court orders, judgments, and decisions through North Wollo High Court.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These services are making a significant contribution to reducing travel expenses and time lost, minimizing the inconvenience faced by service users, and expanding access to justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the Amhara Region Supreme Court has established a similar smart courtroom service at Lalibela town through Lasta Woreda Court. This initiative also creates an opportunity for North Wollo High Court to extend digital judicial services to residents of Lasta and Bugna woredas, improving their access to judicial services without requiring them to travel long distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The expansion of smart courtrooms and virtual judicial services represents an important step toward modernizing the judiciary through technology. By enabling courts to deliver services more efficiently, conveniently, and cost-effectively, these initiatives are helping to strengthen access to justice for the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reported by North Wollo High Court<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
