Abstract
The scientific value of the research lies in the fact that, on the basis of the study of theoretical-legal and practical problems of the introduction and adaptation of electronic justice in the conditions of the modern information society, conceptual conclusions are drawn, which have a scientific and applied character. In particular, the general concept of digitization of judicial proceedings in modern conditions was analyzed, the author’s approach to understanding the category “justice of justice” was developed, the essence and prospects of using artificial intelligence during judicial procedures were clarified. The ideas available in the doctrine about the expected benefits, consequences and risks of use are considered electronic means of ensuring fair justice. It was concluded that the process of introducing electronic justice and its modernization requires a comprehensive approach to the automation of electronic interaction between court and prosecutor’s offices, the use of electronic document management and access to court cases, the use of modern digital technologies in conducting procedural actions, etc. On the basis of the analysis of the leading foreign practices on the specified issues, further prospects for the digitalization of justice are outlined. Emphasis is placed on the priority of human rights and legitimate interests, taking into account requirements for accountability, a high degree of transparency and protection, appropriate legal, organizational, technical and financial support when taking state measures and technological solutions.
