Afghanistan Court Administration System now active in all Parwan and Kabul courts.

Kabul, Afghanistan  | Thursday, February 28, 2008

The newly developed, USAID-funded Afghanistan Court Administration System is now active in all 36 courts in Parwan and Kabul provinces, including the Supreme Court. The system was approved by the Supreme Court in September and is designed to offer a simpler, more open and consistent process of case management.  These 36 courts handle approximately 25 percent of the active court cases in Afghanistan and employ 320 judges. Thus far, approximately 62 judges (including four female judges) and 131 court administrators (including 13 women) have been trained to operate the new case management system.  By the end of August 2008, the Afghanistan Court Administration System rolls out to all 392 courts in the country.
