UYAP Stories and Comments
23 November 2007
Bosphorus University, Istanbul
There is much we
have and continue to learn from you. For instance, in respect of
the excellent IT system being used in your courts, of which a
delegation from my Ministry of Justice was exceedingly jealous.
Ahmet Alpaslan YAVUZ says “UYAP is a series of excellence
From my point of view
1.I have completed judicial statistics within 3 days, which took for 10 days previously. Isn’t it a comfort that brought by UYAP?
2.People ask for their files in order to have copies of some documents without the registry number of the file and we can find it easily through a search on the UYAP. Previously we had to check the whole registry book name by name. Now I ask which one is easier? You decide on .
3.Before UYAP has started functioning courts did have to wait for at least one week for receiving criminal and citizenship records of the suspects. Now we can receive these documents instantly from UYAP.
4.Notification precedure was a mess through post office. First of all one should list the mails, dates, and other required information and finally one needs barcode or official stamp on the letter. Thousands of notificaitons cause some error and it takes a day to complete it properly.
All this process is completed by UYAP without an error and lapse of time.
5.It took for several hours to type the subjects of the investigation on the indictment in complex cases, but now UYAP automatically brings the information of the subjects on the indictment.
6.In case of emergencies, paper based notification was impossible, but now via electronic communication notifications are conducted instantaneously.
7. Fugitives testified in the neighbour court or they were included in official transactions in any court house without getting cauht, and it took for several years to finalise the case. Now UYAP has a database and if fugitives are included in any official transaction in any part of the country, system warns the officiers and fugitives get caught.
8. We get rid of paper based transactions and registry boks at court houses.
9.computerization of the judiciary is not so bad and I wish UYAP will be disseminated to the whole judiciary…
UYAP is just like a sailing ship on its route, and there is no return on this way.

From Sedat Erbaş , staff in Manisa Prison “UYAP makes our jobs
easy and joyful.”
As one of the administrative staff in Manisa Prison I want to
share my experience that I live today with you about the
benefits of UYAP.
Today, a detainee is brought to our
prison according to his warrant given by a criminal court . When
we enter his personel citizen number to the UYAP system in order
to electronically register him in our prison, we see a pop up
on the screen that warns us about double jeopardize. The
warning in the pop up alert us that the related person is
currently in another prison. After investigating the case
broadly and get in touch with the other prison, it is understood
that the person in front of us attempts to enter our prison on
behalf of his relative in order to execute his relative’s
punishment. But he made a mistake that he does not know that we
use UYAP and there is an online connection between all prisons
and other judicial units. Thanks to UYAP we are able to catch
this person . UYAP also prevents this kind of illegal behaviours
and also possible mistakes by warnings and decision support
system. There are hundreds of warnings in the system that help
us to prevent mistakes while doing our job . Thank you very
much UYAP. You make our jobs easy and joyful.
İbrahim Halil TOKUR, Eskişehir court clerk says “If UYAP didn’t give me the warning i was about to forget the payback. At least paying could be delayed…”
First of all, i dont think that i can write all the easinesses that Uyap provided to us. But i can give a little example, an event, i have lived just a while ago. In a case one of the sides made a petition of appeal. As normally we took the appeal tax. But later they have renounced from the appeal. And i have done this process on the UYAP. And just after that the program gave me a warning to pay back the appeal tax. If the program didn’t give me the warning i was about to forget the payback. At least paying could be delayed…

Recording the all the citizenship knowledge details by using
T.R. id number reduced the number of mistakes. While recording
the case datas, system finds if the person have previous cases,
and makes the cases joined automaticaly and immaculately. While
recording the case datas, if there is an warrant for any person
related to case the system warnes for this. Easyness to reach
the previous conviction informations of the person. Template
personalisation feature of the program… As a result with the
utilities that i mentioned ant the more, UYAP has accelarated

UYAP specialist user Hicran ERBAŞ says “By using UYAP mistakes are being reduced and the treatment is being increased”
As Aydın administrative region court on 16.01.2006 and as Muğla county administrative court on 30.10.2006 we have starteed to use UYAP. As admiministrative judiciary we are the busiest unit. Before 2006 to be able to find the concerning files of cases we had to scan all the indexes. After UYAP we can achieve this process in one second by typing the name, surname and T.R. id… Previously we had to check all the cash register records for revenue and refusal processes; But now we can reach to this information very fastly. On the other hand with warnings for the cases which doesnt have enough revenue it is prevented to make extra outputs. We can easyly see the processing states of the cases by making simple queries. We had to spend extra time to make the index of the cases and to add the barcode numbers to official communication letters; But now we don’t. By using the processing state informations of the cases we can easyly see the who and when made a change on the case. Specially for the cases of Code 4483, decision writing process has became much more faster. As the specialist users after the trainings we thought that the transition would be very difficult for candidate servants. But later on we have experienced that its easier for them then the others… By using UYAP mistakes are being reduced and the treatment is being increased… With the hope to reach better conditions…

Demet ALTIPARMAK says “Although we had many work to do, it was fast for us to learn and get used to UYAP”
Dear friends,
I tried to read all the e-mails you have sent until now related with UYAP. I have respect to everyone's thoughts. We were using typewriters before computers have arrived. Technolgic developments forced us to work with computers which seemed really hard to us. Now I think that UYAP also need patience and self-sacrifiying. Believe me, when you work with patience you can come over anything unless we are not pessimistic. Besides we have the help desk of UYAP with us. When I went UYAP trainings I returned back as worried. How would I manage this? Because my coworkers were either close to their retirements or had no clue about the usage of computer. Although we had many work to do, it was fast for us to learn and get used to UYAP. My firends, I wanted all these to share with you. I would like to thank to all of the staff of Kayseri BIM Court. They worked hard with me and our other expert users, and they showed the maximum effort they could. Patience and time is the solution.
Best Regards

- Very impressive
- Very interesting
- Can we have Turkey ’s system? Lots of good lessons to be learnt
- Very quick
- Good speaker and interesting subject
- Very interesting to see how Turkey approached and succeeded in developing a joined up infrastructure

- The slides explained the system being used
- A very interesting perspective of how IT solutions are dealt with in other jurisdictions
- An extremely interesting case study
- Very impressed with Turkish achievement
- Busy slides but very good example well presented.
The criminal justice analyst that was hosting the day made a very strong statement to the effect that Turkey was the best story of joined up justice that he had seen (Rachel hartley-ORACLE)

Boğazlıyan Uyap expert user Kenan Bilgin’s assessment “UYAP will be on the top now and it is like running.
Before the UYAP system, all of the court stenographer knows that the anual operations is only a oppression.The missing decision number and the enquiry number,double posting made be at a dead end in our jobs.
Especially when the statistical information and the available information on the real files are differ from each other we are carried with administrative and judicial responsibility .
Before the UYAP system the anual statistical information get by 4-5 court stenographer continued a week.but after the UYAP it takes soonest like just only minutes.In this context UYAP is being saved time to our and it care about mistakes.With the defficiency letter on all the superior and the subordinate officials’s processes error probility will be diminish to minimum. If taken notice the postal delay of writ or directions, the executed directions go back in native takes one month.But nowadays it takes only just minutes.And thereby it is implemented soonest.
At the present day qualifed “Information age”, UYAP is a chance for me for using in judgment. UYAP will be on the top now and it is like running.

Zonguldak Uyap power user Nazlı KURT’ assessment on UYAP “It will be understood how much useful is UYAP by the time pass”
It will be understood how much useful is UYAP by the time pass anyway. Through the using of Uyap by the all users, there will be experienced wonderful events.
According to me, each day I use the UYAP screen for searching any defendant’s data in all over the courts that were rolled out. My aim with making this is to know if the defendant were sentenced by different courts or not, not only for the same case but also for different cases. In the past we did not know the current files about parties yet so we must have writen so many directions to both different courts and prisons. That is to say that we should be writen so many pointless writs previously. But by using the system, information about parties of the cases reachable. we can access the all the files about offenders and we discontinue writing these places.It is better to see the benefits of Uyap by using UYAP perfectly. According to me all the thing i said are the UYAP’s aim and the best of it

Bafra Uyap power user Uğur SÜRMELİ’s assessment on UYAP “I enjoy using UYAP”
I know that you think like me but I especially admire UYAP about execution of judgements which is part of my job. Though they are the compliment, these are the real events telling by me. As, I really like using execution of judgement unit of UYAP, document editing, writing and all the things are so easily so useful that I enjoy using UYAP. So to say user can improve and compete by himself . Today I work till the 08:30 pm on input the judgemens. I don’t know how many I recorded but approximately 60 pieces. At all record I think it was so effort required abd diffucult work before. I think like that because when there are any offline incoming judgement it seem to be last so many work takes many times..But nowadays editing consummation slip is so easily. In this way I thank to everbody for desingned,prepared, took great pains to improve and develop of UYAP system.

Çiğdem DEMİR, staff in Tekirdağ’s Court of Justice says “ using UYAP is so easy”
I am expert user at Tekirdağ’s Court of Justice. Although at the beginning, using UYAP seems to be difficult and complex, nevertheless using UYAP is not so diffucult if you use UYAP with love and adopt it. Before the UYAP we prepare to decree header and antets one by one from the begining, but after the UYAP it is prepared by the system. Standart rady forms has easied our Works. Also ı can create my own templates in the system. Because of the workload we might have uncared to write id number or the court hearing day ,etc... By using UYAP we don’t make any mistakes like that.

Samsun Uyap power user Ayşe ILGIN’s assessment on UYAP “Every data just click away by UYAP”
At the beginning UYAP seems to be an unusual and expected to arise the workload.But when we started to work with UYAP, it is so difficult to agree with this idea. For example, if you know the citizen. id number of any person you will be take his birth record in seconds which took weeks previously. Then before we wanted his birth record to writing to Birth Registration Office. At some of our court doll we waited the comeback of writs for months. So i said that taking birth record on UYAP within seconds is advantage for us. Thinking on this we will see the unnecessarity of writting and waiting for this.It is an improvement on the judgement..Therefore we will access the information with clicking on the digital brief. That is to say all the things are under our hands.
With my best wishes about future.

Kırıkkale Uyap expert user Altu BAYDAR’ assessment on UYAP “UYAP prevents offenders escape from justice”
As is all the judiciary using UYAP system, we make all process on UYAP and this gives feedback to us. A litigant applied to civil court with his petition. When he applied and his petition were registered to the system from his citizen id number, it is seen in a pop up that he was arrasted by different Criminal Court of first instance previously . Then we informed execution bureau and they did articles of necessity. We might not have been aware of this warrant if the UYAP does not exist and this peson might have escaped from justice.

Aşkın Çiftci, Ödemiş court clerk says “UYAP has diminished huge workload and prevents double punishment for same event.”
I want to tell you an event happened in our court while hearing a case which pleased me very much.
A verdict was overturned by high court about 3 offender for rape and participate to this crime against a minor so we register this case to the courts agenda list and continued hearing. Than we tried to find the minor victim in order to send her forensic medicine science unit to get health report. Although all efforts to find her, we were not able to find her because of changing her adress over and over again. So we could not finish our case for years and reach a verdict.
After than UYAP was put into effect in our court. Than I decided to make an investigate through UYAP and enter offenders citizen ID number to the UYAP system in order to learn whether any other case or cases exist about them. Than I reached a very important information about the case that there is a another case similar to our file about both these offenders in another court which is in different part of Turkey. We urgently sent an instruction to other court in order to access the similar file. Finally It is understood that two different investigation were carried out by different judicial authorities about the same event and other court has reached a verdict and this verdict was approved by high court.. It was completely same events but the judges of the different courts were not aware of each cases. So our court dismissed the case becouse of having been reached a decision by another court for the same event.
As a conclusion either judiciary gain benefits or state saved form case cost. UYAP has diminished huge workload. Double punishment for same event was prevented thanks to UYAP. I believe that we will see many benefits of UYAP and request your support.

Yavuz Karaaslan, Chief of Kozan Heavy Crimes Court “UYAP has reduced the number of files overturned by the high court”
I am a president of heavy crime courts in Kozan province. I want to talk about one of UYAP benefits with you. According to Turkish Criminal code if there is a offender in the case under 18, called minor, hearing must not be done publicly, secret hearing decision must be taken and the case must be continued confidentially. While I was proceeding a case in recent days I forget to give secret hearing decision although there is an offender under 18, because of the crowdedness of the parties in the case. Meanwhile a pop up on the screen give an alert to us to do hearing secretly on account of being an offender under 18 in the case. Having warned by the system I have proceeded the case secretly. If we were not warned, we may have forgotten to obey this rule and our verdict definitely might have overturned by the supreme court. UYAP has reduced the number of files overturned by the high court, this concludes the reduction of the workload of not only for ordinary courts but also supreme court.

Sunay Gönenden, Lawyer says “What a comfort to work with UYAP , a lot thanks for the people who set up UYAP”
In order to connect and make use of UYAP lawyers portal I have taken my password 1 week ago. Now I can access and examine my files via internet from my home which I am appointed as a lawyer.

Especially at any time I can reach the list of hearing in a period of time all over the Turkey. Because of this list given by UYAP lawyer portal I found the 2 criminal case file which I have lost. What a comfort to work with UYAP, a lot thanks for the people who set up UYAP.
