Impact of digitalisation on the justice system: Challenges of administrative justice

The relevance of this study is driven by the incomplete digitalisation of justice and the constant need to update data on the effectiveness of digital tools in justice. The purpose of the study was to summarise the existing approaches to the digitalisation of administrative justice presented in the scientific literature, law enforcement practice, regulations, and analytical reports. The methodological framework of the study included the systematic review method, which involved comparative legal, historical-legal, systemic-structural, and axiological approaches. Based on the results of the systematic review of scientific studies, it was found that digitalisation of court proceedings demonstrates patterns of development and widespread approaches to the introduction of electronic document management, submission of electronic evidence, and remote participation in various legal systems. The analysed history of research on this subject showed that the stages of development of digital tools in the judicial sphere are linked to their regulatory consolidation and adaptation. The analysis of scientific literature helped to establish that the relationship between the components of digital justice, specifically, the means of filing documents and the organisation of case consideration, is key. The study found that the current scientific discourse discusses the effects of digital solutions on the exercise of procedural rights, assesses the value of digitalisation for effective, accessible, and transparent justice, and identifies challenges and threats associated with the transformation of conventional procedures. The findings obtained are of practical significance for scholars, lawmakers, judges, and lawyers in the further development and implementation of digital tools for administrative justice
