Abstract
Access to justice is an important aspect of democratic government. In India, even with
constitutional guarantees and judicial activism, a large segment of the population still does not
enjoy at least timely and affordable access to justice. This dissertation considers the changing
role of IT in transforming the Indian court system in connection with improving access to justice.
It assesses various initiatives by the judiciary and government - the e-Courts Mission Mode
Project, online case management systems, electronic filing, videoconferencing, and AI-based
tools like SUVAS, and considers whether such initiatives would address enduring access
problems such as, case backlog, delay, and complexity.
