It is not hidden from anyone the slowness of the litigation system in Egypt and the lawsuits that remain in the courts, which may sometimes reach decades of years, and what happened in the events of the January Revolution of burning some courts, which led to the burning of lawsuits and documents of lawsuits inside these courts, and this resulted in the loss of the rights of some citizens. It was necessary to introduce an electronic litigation system that aims to enhance the speed of litigation, achieve justice, and preserve lawsuits from destruction and damage.

The Ministry of Justice cooperated in this field with technical and technological cooperation with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, and with judicial and administrative cooperation with various judicial bodies and authorities. Other small digitization projects were also launched during the past three years between some judicial bodies and authorities and the Ministry of Communications.

Remote procedures for criminal investigation and trial
The Ministry of Justice has introduced, in the field of contemporary criminal justice, remote communication technology, which reflects a stage in the development of criminal procedures, reflecting the trend towards benefiting from modern technology in developing the performance of criminal justice, which has already approved the use of this technology in the field of remote criminal investigation or trial.

The video conferencing technology is also considered a modern mean or mechanism for conducting remote criminal investigations or trial procedures.
In some cases, it is used to hear the testimony of witnesses and those cooperating with the justice to uncover the mystery of serious crimes, especially organized ones, and also the trial of the accused, despite their presence inside the penal institutions, before a court that may be hundreds of miles away from these institutions.

And also, to achieve some considerations, the most important of which is ensuring the effectiveness of criminal prosecution procedures, speeding up the settlement of cases, reducing the expenses incurred by the state in the process of transporting accused persons, especially dangerous ones, from their places of detention to the court headquarters to attend trials, protecting the victim, the witnesses and others cooperating with justice.
