DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE COURT

Abstract

Digital transformation has affected the judicial system of Ukraine, in particular administrative justice. Recently, administrative courts have been actively using various information and communication technologies, such as the “Electronic Court” subsystem, the official web portal “Judicial Authority of Ukraine”, the Unified State Register of Court Decisions, the “Automated Distribution” module, the videoconferencing subsystem, and others. These new tools allow you to automate many judicial processes, including document flow, case distribution, document exchange, and recording of court proceedings. This article is dedicated to the digital transformation of administrative courts. It examines the main directions of digitization of administrative courts, their advantages and challenges, and also analyzes the consideration of cases outside the courtroom through video conferencing. The implementation of digital administrative justice is a significant step in the development of the judicial system in Ukraine. However, the task of integrating digital technologies into the Ukrainian judicial system is complex and time-consuming. Moreover, digital transformation not only contributes to reducing time and resource costs but also enhances the quality of justice and ensures a more effective protection of citizens’ rights. However, the successful implementation of digital technologies in the judicial system requires not only technical changes but also the enhancement of judges’ and court staff’s qualifications, adaptation of legislation, and ensuring the security of electronic systems and data. This article explores the key aspects of the digital transformation of administrative justice in Ukraine and its impact on the judicial system and citizens. The digital transformation of the administrative court has a number of advantages, including increasing the efficiency of administrative justice; saving time and money; improving the accessibility of administrative justice; and improving the quality of administrative justice.
