In this article the notion of an electronic case management system is defined and its key management aspects, its functions and perceived benefits are explained
Some lessons learned became available in an international qualitative research held between 2006 and 2008 after electronic case management systems, which covered a large number of European countries and Australia

Summary
In this article the notion of an electronic case management system is defined and its key management aspects, its functions and perceived benefits are explained. It involves a range of activities in case (flow) management like support to apply standard schedules for a case type and an individual case specific schedule with milestones that demarcate when an activity can start and has to finish This is important both from the perspective of efficiency of justice and procedural justice and can be achieved when different sources of data as on case numbers, calendars and involved court officials are intertwined. This creates the opportunity to create dedicated personal listings and notifications, which judges, clerks and administrators use to work within the schedule and finish before milestones. Case content support: electronic documents are inserted with case data and standard text blocks are available
