Türkiye's Justice Ministry announced that more than 5.38 million hearings have been conducted digitally through the e-Hearing (e-Duruşma) system since 2020, as part of the country's broader judicial digitalization efforts.

In a statement, the ministry said technological transformation and digitalization initiatives in the judiciary have made court proceedings faster and more accessible.

The e-Hearing system allows lawyers and citizens to participate in hearings without traveling to courthouses, saving both time and effort. Developed through the Justice Ministry's digital infrastructure, the system is currently in active use at 5,630 civil courts across the country.

According to the ministry, a total of 5,383,748 hearings have been held via the e-Hearing platform since its launch on Sept. 15, 2020.

The ministry noted that the system, developed by its engineers using domestic resources and technology, has gradually expanded and is now available in all civil courts across Türkiye's 81 provinces.
