The history of computer and computing may said to begin with the abacus, a machine that aid humans in calculation more than 5,000 years ago.  Down the evolutionary trend, names of people like John Napier, Blaise Pascal, Gottfried Wilhelm, Charles babbage etc.  cannot be left out.  It is the difficulties and weak points of manual operations in our works that let to the development of this powerful tool. What computer can do in all aspect of human endeavours computer can be seen as the most effective tool in 1982, a land mark was created in history when a paraplegic Nandaris with the aid of computer walk for the first time after a job.  That is  computer in son field of medicine.

Engineering and science, computer can be use to stimulate, create, and design complex industry equipment in manufacturing industries. In hostile environment – computer controlled robots can be used to explore places that ate harmful to human beings and can work in areas like nuclear plant where human beings cannot. Investigation and crime detection, computer programs can be used to search and locate missing people and things wherever they may be at any point in time.  Computer and law service, the wonder of computer is not very far from the court proceedings and all other court activities due to it can be used to store some criminal five and retrieve if need be at any given time.  The introduction of computer in court proceeding will enhance the speedy and accurate efficiency and effective attendance of each and every clients in the court. If computer is applied in design and implementation of documentation system of court proceedings.  It will help to improve the judiciary of the nation to attain maximum utility.
