Electronic Case Filing System

The 'ECFS' refers to the electronic litigation system that is managed by the Korean judicial body. It enables litigants to file suits and proceed with the case. Litigants may file various documents including complaints and evidence from their home and office, and they will receive litigation papers that are submitted by their opponent through emails and text messages. They will be able to quickly confirm and respond to the opponent and the court. In addition, it will be possible for them to view and print legal records without any delay. They can also check how their case is being proceeded. Furthermore, judges and clerks of court can manage the case through the automated system. This includes case management, procedure management, record reviews, and approval. Also, all of these processes are done automatically by using the computer and the entire litigation procedures are done in the courtroom. Currently, the service is not open to the public unless they are the parties to a specific suit. However, judgment search service on the web site will be available for the public in the future under the condition that the names are anonymous.
