e-MoJ (Electronic Ministry of Justice)
The Ministry of Justice's paperless case room: every case file, query, endorsement and DPP referral tracked online.
e-MoJ is the Ministry of Justice's digital case-folder and workflow system, built under the State's Digitalisation and Automation of the Judiciary and Ministry of Justice programme. Legal officers, liaison officers, unit heads, directors, the Solicitor-General and the Attorney-General work on shared digital case folders with documents, tasks, chats, queries and electronic endorsements, while registered law firms and institutions appear as entities with their own case folders. It is a login-based system; there is no public content beyond the sign-in and lawyer sign-up screens.
What it does
All 11 features
- Digital case folders holding case title, suit number, judicial division, parties and uploaded documents (PDF, DOCX, images)
- Role-based desks for Liaison Officer, Legal Officer, Unit Head, Director, Secretary, Solicitor Secretary, Solicitor-General and Attorney-General
- Tasks, internal chats, queries and activity logs on each case folder
- Built-in PDF and Word editors with virtual signatures, stamps and document endorsement
- Tracking of case folders referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and of DPP request notes
- Case status tracking (for example awaiting filing, assigned to court, under assessment, ongoing, concluded)
- Sign-up for lawyers and law firms using Supreme Court Number (SCN), address for service and call-to-bar certificate
- Admin management of users, officials, court staff, entities (law firms and institutions), judiciary seals and registrar stamps
- Fee assessment and payment records, with online payment through Paystack
- Cause list views and dashboards (total case folders, folders without suit number, pending and resolved queries)

In practice
What it looks like
A legal officer opens a new case folder, uploads the brief and assigns a review task to the unit head
The Attorney-General's office endorses a document electronically with a virtual signature instead of a wet-ink round trip
A case file is referred to the DPP and its referral status is tracked until it is sent to court
A law firm registers with its SCN and call-to-bar certificate so it can be linked to case folders
Why it matters
What changes
- Less paper movement between Ministry desks
- Every action on a case is logged and traceable
- Faster review and endorsement through electronic signatures and stamps
- One record for case documents, queries and payments
