Algeria’s Minister of Justice, Keeper of the Seals, Lotfi Bouguerra, has praised the country’s accelerating judicial transformation, citing visible progress in digitisation and electronic court management as evidence of a “major shift” in the justice sector.
Speaking on Thursday during a ceremonial session to officially appoint Mohamed Boudarbala as the new President of the Algiers Court—replacing Donia Zadd Qalati—Bouguerra linked the reform to the broader judicial reshuffling led by the Supreme Judicial Council and endorsed by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune.
He described the changes as part of “one of the most prominent pillars” of the presidential programme, stressing the government’s commitment to empowering the justice system with the tools and frameworks needed to adapt to rapidly evolving global and domestic challenges.
“The President of the Republic has insisted on providing the justice sector with all the means and frameworks enabling it to face the expectations and challenges experienced by Algerian society, particularly amid the complex and fast-paced transformations witnessed worldwide,” Bouguerra stated.
The Justice Minister underscored the critical importance of human capital in implementing meaningful development in the judiciary.
“In the midst of this support,” he said, “the human component in the judicial field remains the decisive factor in enforcing any serious and purposeful development policy.
It is no longer just about competence or improving service models—it has become a fundamental pillar in advancing judicial performance for the public good.”
Bouguerra further highlighted the sector’s recent momentum, noting that its effects have moved beyond rhetoric and into tangible results.
“The significant dynamism witnessed in the sector, especially in recent years, is now producing real outcomes. We are seeing this shift transition from theoretical promise to concrete action,” he declared.
“This momentum is synchronised and cumulative,” he added, “particularly in achieving a digital takeoff, expanding the reach and implementation of electronic judicial administration, and enhancing the quality of public legal services.”
The remarks point to a deepening commitment by Algerian authorities to modernise the judiciary—one that aligns technology, human resources, and governance under a unified reform agenda.
