Recently in India, paperless cases were initiated by the Chief Justice of India J.S. Khehar when he referred a digital copy of the records instead of paper files. It won’t be forced, he claimed: “at the first instance, only fresh matters listed in the first five courts will be accessed by the judges digitally on an interactive display device.” All the high courts in the country have already been provided with IDs and process of creating digital files has started. 

Assisting clients from distance has become so easy with the satellite offices and Virtual Law Firms. Any client and attorney from any part of the nation they may access the Internet can directly connect each other with their websites or through legal portals. On these portals, both attorneys & clients are requested to register with a user name & password to secure their personal sections, communications, emails, download or upload documents and get connected to the internet anytime. E-lawyering is the most convenient way to connect with top lawyers and get experts advice. On the return lawyers running a virtual law office will have more flexible working hours and be able to serve larger clients over the internet. 

Scientists are also building ‘Robot Judges’ which when tested, proved competent enough to predict the accurate result of 79 percentages of cases. It is made simply with the intention of assisting judges, not replacing them.
