Justice Management in any organisation is recipe for proper management and organisational prosperity. As
error is to human, disputes are inevitable but should be resolved amicably. With a focus on higher institutions of learning
justice administration and management is handy in managing competition and so profit maximization especially in the
current privatization of higher education. The study aimed at designing a prototype for universities which ultimately helps
local citizens to interpret law. Six universities were purposively selected and a cross sectional and design science research
methodology employed. The study found that if improved the proposed justice management system would significantly reduce
the prevailing challenges of case backlog, losses and postponed hearing records, timely and responsiveness of summons
among others. However, in future the small messaging system (SMS) enabled systems could also be considered together with
translator into major local languages.
