File-Court Management Application for Bakirkoy Courthouse

The File-Court Management Application for Bakirkoy Courthouse automates the distribution of case files among 24 Heavy Penal Courts. Each week, one court is designated as the on-duty court, with the authority to input case files into the system. Once a case file is entered by the on-duty court, the application ensures that the files are evenly distributed across all courts, maintaining an equal workload. The duty court rotates automatically every week, and each court has the ability to view and process the cases assigned to them. This system replaces the previous manual process, streamlining operations by requiring only file input from the courts, while the assignment process is handled by the application.

Technologies Used

• Spring Boot: Used for building the backend services and APIs of the application, ensuring high performance and reliability.
• MySQL: The relational database used to store and manage case files and court data.
• Spring Security: Implements role-based access control, ensuring that only the designated on-duty court can input new case files. It also manages authentication via JWT tokens to secure the application.
• React: Utilized for the frontend, providing an interactive user interface where courts can view and manage their assigned case files.
