"Making Electronic Litigation Easy"... Court Administration Office Publishes Work Manual

[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] A guidebook has been released to help litigants easily use the electronic litigation system. It is a simplified and summarized version of the 1,500-page manual previously provided in file format on the electronic litigation website.

On the 11th, the Court Administration Office announced the publication of the guidebook titled "Electronic Litigation Work Manual," which summarizes the key steps of the electronic litigation process.

The book provides detailed explanations of the user manual, which was previously available as files on the electronic litigation website, along with actual screenshots of the work interface. It also compiles major practical issues into sections called "Case Collections" and "Precautions."

The Court Administration Office plans to distribute this book to related organizations such as the Bar Association and the Judicial Scrivener Association, enabling legal professionals to conveniently use the electronic litigation system and utilize it as educational material for new lawyers and judicial scriveners.

Currently, the electronic litigation system is available for all litigation areas except criminal cases, including civil, family, patent, administrative, and enforcement cases. The electronic litigation filing rate for civil cases has been steadily increasing: 77.2% in 2018, 82.0% in 2019, and 86.8% from January to June 2020.

A Court Administration Office official stated, "With the publication of this guidebook, litigants' accessibility to the electronic litigation system will improve, contributing to the activation of electronic litigation and being widely used as educational material for legal professionals."
