Legal practice in Nigeria has long been plagued
with drawbacks, that delay the judicial process and we’re not talking
technicalities. Besides the usual delay tactics and case strategies deployed by
cunning counsel and litigants, there’s the classic administrative bottlenecks
and strenuous procedures that heap problems on what is an already aging system.
I’ll bring some of these issues to the spotlight.
Judges, for example, spend a whole chunk of time writing and writing…and writing
during proceedings. During the trial, dealing with cross-examination questions can
be quite burdensome. Even worse, witnesses and accused persons sometimes have a
lot to say and will be forced to slow down their pace to enable the judge to take
down notes. Imagine a Judge having about 15 cases on the cause list for the day
and having to do all of that writing, in addition to the mental task of presiding
over proceedings. Imagine having to agonizingly wait your turn.
It doesn’t just even end there. Sometimes, we need proceedings fast, instantly and as soon as possible. Typically, you would
have to obtain certified true copies which entail making an application letter,
then waiting for approval, then paying necessary fees, then chasing the
registrars (if they’re not too busy) and then looking for a way to get it duly
stamped. The amount of effort and stress required to do something that
ordinarily should come easily is immense.
As with almost every other thing these days, innovative
technology is something that can be of
tremendous assistance. VocalScript now offers instant, accurate and affordable
transcription services. By simply recording your media via our mobile app or
