Legal Issues of the Functioning of the Electronic Justice System

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis and subsequent proposal of a possible solution of the problems of the digitalization of the judicial system in the world, which takes special actuality due to the spread of a new coronavirus infection COVID-19 that has captured all continents. Considering the analysis of international justice systems, especially electronic justice, and international legal acts, as well as the doctrinal sources of domestic and international researchers, the question of the need to direct all efforts to the introduction and subsequent improvement of artificial intelligence technologies, which is able to competently perform a number of functions of the courts, and thereby ease the workload of the judiciary through the adoption of "smart decisions", is resolved. Artificial intelligence technologies will be able to effectively unload the judicial apparatus from routine proceedings, which take the most time from the courts. The artificial intelligence system can be used in cases of ordered and simplified proceedings due to the fact that many of these cases do not have an increased level of complexity and are based on a number of irrefutable and admissible evidence that does not come into question. At the same time, in most cases, there are no motivated objections of any party to the dispute in the case materials, which further simplifies the process and the powers of the judges will be limited only to checking the calculation of the amount of claims, which may well be entrusted to the artificial intelligence algorithm.
