eCourtroom is a virtual courtroom that assists in the management of pre-trial matters by allowing directions and other orders to be made online.
The Federal Court of Australia is the first court in Australia to introduce such an initiative. Using eCourtroom, the Court may receive submissions and affidavit evidence and make orders as if the parties were in a normal courtroom.
The eCourtroom includes a User Manual and a public transcript facility.
The User Manual is a self-paced guide that explains how to use the eCourtroom.
The public transcript facility gives access to records of all messages posted by the presiding Judge and the parties in any case that is using the eCourtroom.
