The Vice President of the Bar Association who in private practice heads the respected Sam Okudzeto & Associates law firm disclosed to members of the Bar on the 26th day of April, 2025 at the Association of Lawyers' Mid-Year Conference that the Judicial Service in a bid to forestall inconveniences to Court users when a Court fails to sit seeks to send prompt alerts to Lawyers and Court users upon the completion of the said software specifically built for the purpose.

The news of the software being developed by the Judicial Service came from the learned Vice President of the Ghana Bar Association upon concerns raised by members of unannounced failure of Judges to sit inconveniencing Lawyers and Clients especially where Counsel and parties travel long distances to conduct Court business.
