The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ministry of Justice has appointed CrimsonLogic (www.crimsonlogic.com) to develop and operate a revolutionary eJustice programme which will enhance the Judiciary's transparency and efficiency, promote the legal fraternity's professionalism and create greater access to justice for the people and businesses in the UAE.

His Excellency Mohammed Bin Nekhaira Al Dhaheri, Minister of Justice of the UAE said CrimsonLogic was selected as a partner in implementing the initiative because of its stellar track record in operating sustainable eJustice systems and services. "Leveraging CrimsonLogic's expertise will assure us of the delivery of a truly end-to-end suite of eJustice services," he said.

With the implementation of the eJustice programme, individuals and businesses living and operating in the UAE can look forward to more user-friendly electronic transactions with the Judiciary, anytime, anywhere.
