The Supreme Judiciary Council is preparing a five-year digital trans­formation strategy (2025-2030) as part of its efforts to automate the judicial system, in line with Qatar National Vi­sion 2030 and the national initia­tive to develop justice systems.

This initiative aims to build an advanced national judicial system, achieve prompt justice, and strengthen the principle of the rule of law. In a statement on Sunday, the Supreme Judiciary Council explained that the strat­egy will address the require­ments of the next stage and serves as a roadmap for future technical projects. It continues the achievements made by the Council during the 2019-2024 ju­dicial seasons, during which the e-justice sector saw further de­velopment and modernization.

This includes the launch of 70 electronic services for litigants through the electronic court’s portal, as well as 35 services via the mobile application. These services serve as an interface for the electronic judicial system, enabling lawyers, experts, and individuals to interact with the judiciary. They facilitate com­munication through the elec­tronic platform for holding tri­als, issuing judicial notices and announcements to the national addresses, exchanging memo­randa electronically, depositing expert reports, receiving judg­ments, submitting requests, and obtaining decisions
