The Judiciary has intensified its digital transformation efforts, with judicial officers undertaking advanced training in the Electronic Court Case Management Information System (ECCMIS) at the Supreme Court of Uganda.
The training, now in its second day, has brought together a cross-section of judges, registrars, and technical personnel, focusing on practical application of the system in managing day-to-day court operations.
In a notable show of institutional commitment, the Principal Judge, Lady Justice Jane Frances Abodo, is participating as a trainee alongside Justice Allan Nshimye, Head of Circuit Mbarara, and Justice Kwemara Kafuuzi, Resident Judge of the High Court in Mbarara.
They are joined by judicial officers and registrars from Cluster 8, underscoring a broader push within the Judiciary to adopt technology-driven solutions aimed at improving efficiency and accountability.
The sessions are being facilitated by Lady Justice Immaculate Busingye, Chairperson of the ECCMIS Technical Committee, who is guiding participants through best practices in system usage. The training is designed to ensure that judicial officers not only understand ECCMIS but can also apply it effectively in real-time court scenarios.
Technical components form a central part of the programme. Senior Information Maintenance Officer Derrick Kawuki is leading sessions on the criminal justice workflow within the system, while Computer Programmer Brian Oryema is conducting hands-on training on civil case processes—from filing to resolution.
The programme also covers key functionalities such as user registration, electronic filing, and comprehensive case management, all aimed at enhancing transparency, reducing delays, and improving access to justice.
ECCMIS Technical Advisor Julian Rweju is providing expert support during the sessions, while Systems Administrator Samalie Nakabanda is moderating proceedings to ensure smooth coordination.
The ECCMIS rollout is a cornerstone of the Judiciary’s broader reform agenda, which seeks to streamline court processes, reduce case backlog, and modernise service delivery across Uganda’s justice system.
