MANILA, Philippines—Judges must learn to use word processors to make life easier for them, acting Chief Justice Antonio Carpio said.

Carpio has been acting Chief Justice for about two months. He is the most senior associate justice in the Supreme Court having been there for 11 years.

Carpio has distributed USB broadband wireless thumbdrive for several judges and he said the high court is eyeing distribution on all courts nationwide.

“Computer literacy is essential now,” Carpio, whom a Judicial and Bar Council member has called a computer savvy.

Carpio said the device will not only connect judges to the E-Library but it will also allow the courts nationwide to upload the court’s monthly reports on pending cases to the Office of the Court Administrator Section of the Supreme Court Website.

He added that the case management system, which was pilot-tested in the Court of Appeals will be tried in several courts in Metro Manila “once we are happy, we will distribute the system to all courts.”

With the case management system, Carpio said, the Court of Appeals was able to comply with the directive that all cases submitted for resolution must be resolved within one year.

    The bigger question, I think, is whether the new Chief Justice will have the resolve to change the tarnished image of the judicial department as a coop of hoodlums in the black robe, as well as an ingenuous plan to address the snail paced movement of cases, criminal or civil, which on the average runs 10 years before final adjudication. Justice delayed is justice denied.

    After the judges learn basic computer operations together with the Clerks-of-Court, the Supreme Court and the Department of Justice must devise a system to monitor the cases filed in the courts. Many judges intentionally sit on the cases for sum consideration. 

    The same should be done by the Ombudsman to its regional offices who shelve complaints against congressmen, governors, mayors and other ranking public officials because of monetary arrangements.

    Name that
    Judge(s) or at least show us statistics how many of them incapable of using
    computers.

    Ironically,
    the non-lawyer bloggers can access the laws, decrees, RA etc in the web fast….but
    not the poor computer illiterate Judge.

    FIRE them,
    or in a demure ways send them to seminars or retirement, and stop accepting
    nominees for for Judges (Lets include the DOJ prosecutors) who are computer
    illiterate….JUDGES WHO CAN’T READ OUR CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM AND BLOGS….ha ha ha
    LOL!

    I’ve evaluated the nominees after the interview so far, based on my limited wisdom and knowledge of law, there are only 2 nominees that caught my fancy-Carpio and Diokno.
    Hands down, based on independence, intelligence, knowledge of law, integrity and credibility and what is expected of him as a person of character, I will choose Carpio as the next CJ and Diokno as the far second choice.
    Definitely, Carpio is heads above the other contenders in terms of knowledge and understanding of the law, independence, and credibility. He appears to me as the person who can be the opposite of Corona and will have the courage and the balls to restore credibility of SC and judiciary, which was crushed almost beyond redemption during corona’s stint. 
    Others may look at my judgment as biased but I based my opinion on what I understand on carpio’s thoughts and wisdom and body language during the interview. 
    To me, and I think, many more will agree with me, he is the most qualified, the fittest and the most intelligent.Let him be the next CJ.
