Abstract

The latest digital technologies are becoming increasingly important in the life of the state and society every day. The coronavirus epidemic at the end of 2019 marked a new digital era in which most bureaucratic processes began to take place remotely. The introduction of restrictions and risks associated with the pandemic could not but affect the work of the courts. As a result, procedural deadlines, access to justice and protection of the rights of citizens and organizations were affected. However, it cannot be denied that the pandemic period has also had a significant progressive impact on the resolution of court cases.
This article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the digital transformation of Russian legal proceedings. The most promising areas of digitalization of court activities, as well as the most important practical problems, are analyzed.
