[This page is dedicated to Dr. Yubaraj Sangroula for his initiation. The page shall discuss as an open online forum, the possibility of evolving a system of law that might help our economic transformation future. China in the north with trade potential operates with Civil Law system and India in the south with big trade with Nepal the common law system. Should we stick on one system of law if we look our prospect a reality in future. It would be a great service for nation if some of you can think of doing research and suggest what the nation should do in this regard. Dr. Sangroula will post a 'introductory' article to escalate the debate. May 23, 3008]

DEVELOPMENT OF E-JUDICIARY AND OUR LEGAL SYSTEM
There is no doubt, a need of a developed and sustainable legal system for us. Current trend has shown a possibility of a global standard legal system through implementation of e-judiciary and initiation of development thereof. Online case tracking, case status notification through email and SMS are no doubt the basics of a complete e-judiciary that shall save both time and energy for us in future.
So should we reinforce our legal system based on:
(1) Civil Law System [Janga Bahadur's Civil Code-influenced by Nepolean code and his European Visit]?
(2) Common Law System [Laws, precedents, common law practice influenced by the Indian Judicial development and the after affect of the British Rule in India]?
(3) Mixed Legal System [As we have academically claimed]?
A complete overview on types of legal systems can be found at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_systems_of_the_world . Unfortunately it labels Nepal as a Common Law Country.
