Technology for Justice examines impacts of information technology (it) on 
the administration of justice. court users all over the world complain mainly 
about long delays, lack of access to justice and court corruption. drawing on a 
broad variety of sources – comparative studies, statistics, case law and juris-
prudence, studies on it use and on court usage – this study examines how it 
can help to remedy these complaints. 
the study, contributing to knowledge about information use and it in procee-
dings, analyzes how automated case registration systems have revolutionized 
thinking about case management and significantly reduced court disposition 
times. it also explores internet technology’s potential for increasing access to 
legal information, predicted by richard susskind in 1996, as a means for self-
help with settlement and support for court access. providing the first systematic 
analysis of court corruption, it analyzes it’s contribution to reducing corrup-
tion. it closes by providing insights into the internet’s new challenges for 
judiciaries.
Dory Reiling, judge at the amsterdam first instance court, was formerly the it 
policy officer for the dutch judiciary and a senior world bank judicial reform 
expert. her previous publications include Doing Justice with IT (2006) and 
Justice Sector Assessments Handbook (2007).
