Who We Are

The E-Court Technical Staff Welfare Association (ETSA) is an association established to promote the welfare, professional development, and collective interests of technical personnel working in the judicial and e-Court environment.

As courts increasingly depend on information technology, digital case-management systems, video-conferencing facilities, electronic services, networking infrastructure, and other technology-driven solutions, the contribution of technical staff has become an essential part of the modern justice-delivery system.

ETSA seeks to provide a common platform through which technical staff can work together, exchange knowledge and experience, address legitimate professional and welfare concerns, and contribute constructively to the continued development of technology-enabled courts.

Our Vision

To build a strong, professionally recognized, skilled and united community of e-Court technical staff that contributes effectively to a modern, efficient, transparent and technology-enabled judicial system.

ETSA envisions a professional environment in which technical personnel receive appropriate recognition for their responsibilities and have opportunities for continuous learning, career development and welfare.
