The Caribbean Judicial Information System (CJIS)
Knowledge management for the region
The Caribbean Judicial Information System (CJIS) captures, stores and retrieves knowledge assets for the judiciaries of the Caribbean.
- Developed by
- The Judicial Regional and Institutional Strengthening (JURIST) Project
- Stewardship
- The CCJ has been identified as the most suitable institution to advance and maintain the use and management of the system following the close of the JURIST Project on 30 March 2023
What it holds
CJIS serves as a storage and retrieval mechanism for all types of information related to judicial reform, including:
Decisions & scholarship
- Judgments
- Papers
- Speeches
Policy & practice
- Policies
- Procedures
- Guidelines
- Rules
- Practice directions
Instruments
- Treaties
- Agreements
- Protocols
- Legislation
Why it matters
It is hoped that the CJIS will help to foster a culture of information sharing across the region and allow countries to have access to information generated from the JURIST Project and other judicial reform projects and activities. The system also ensures that all information collected is archived and accessible in one location — enabling informed decision-making and improved efficiency by reducing the need to rediscover knowledge.
