What is a Judicial Research Centre?
A Judicial Research Centre (JRC) is an IT facility which provides access to legal research tools, the Internet and some specialized IT applications such as a Complaints Management System.
A Judicial Research Centre has three main components: a satellite dish, a server room and a pool of computers, printers and a scanner.
JRC Objectives
The aim of the Judicial Research Centre is to improve timeless and quality of justice delivery as well as the overall transparency of courts operations. Easy access to legal information and state-of-the art information systems will help judges and magistrates in conducting research and writing judgements, finding references and case citations.
JRCs are being deployed to all 10 pilot states under the project, namely Anambra, Benue, Borno, Delta, Enugu, Federal Capital Territory, Lagos, Kaduna, Katsina, and Rivers as well as the National Judicial Institute (JRC)
