Thanks to God who has made it possible for the introduction of computer to reduce man's suffering and problems. Computers can be used to store large volume of data in an information system. The purpose of this project is to design and develop an effective legal management information system capable of enhancing court services.

Sequel to this, an effective management information system was designed and developed using Microsoft Access and Hyper Text Mark-up Language (HTML). The use of Hyper Text mark-up Language as the interface is to enable the work to be hosted in website in the future. Finally, the management information system software developed was tested and confirmed working after which it was documented.
