Director General of Religious Courts Body in the Supreme Court Wahyu Widiana for the umpteenth time emphasizes the importance of IT use to help realize transparency in the Indonesian judiciary.
“We no longer put Information Technology as our main program but its use and existence in every Religious Court has become a must. IT is a vital means to judicial transparency,” he said as quoted by pta-banjarmasin.go.id (5/4) when giving directions to participants at Regional Working Meeting of PTA (High Religious Court) Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan.
.Wahyu also urged all Religious Courts to publish court verdicts on their own websites as this is one of the forms of transparency that public demands.
It is now obvious that the use of Information Technology can support improving the administration of justice and resolving the major problems judiciaries face. Dorry Reiling, a judge in the Netherlands, in his dissertation entitled ‘Technology for Justice; How Information Technology can support Judicial Reform’ has proven that Technology highly supports the work of judiciaries in bringing justice to the people.
