Status Updates.

After 10 weeks through the Systems project and a month celebrating Diwali, we're back with some updates on our Judicial side.

So, once we had been through the whole process of research, understanding, mapping, some more research, analysis, analogies and ideation, it was time to judge our ideas to take them to the next level. Along with that, to attain better understanding, we were expected to make a System Model.

When it came to judging our ideas, we tried to understand what it was that we were ultimately trying to do. So, while the current system of the Indian Judiciary caters fairly well to the needs of the Judge, the Lawyer and all the other paid staff, the litigant seems to have been sidelined. When the system was, in fact, set up for the benefit of the latter, the former has more assured benefits, at least monetarily. Can we make the system more litigant-centric? Or, least of all, we can work towards making it more friendly for them and reduce their hassles to make things easier.

So, we looked at it in two ways. One was to directly cater to the litigant to reduce his anxiety, and the other to indirectly speed up the proceedings of the court to add up to making his case go faster.
