Electronic Justice Platforms in Civil Cases: The Status, Risks, Prospects

The article is devoted to the analysis of procedural services of the justice system, the Integrated information system of courts of general jurisdiction, and the justice online superservice. As a result of the conducted comparison, fully and imperfectly functioning procedural options were identified, as well as the circumstances that prevent their application. The author identifies alarming trends related to the digitalization of justice. Among them: parallel co-existence of many information platforms of courts with various ‘electronic’ procedural services; binding of tested automated information systems to the courts of a certain region; blurring of the essence of justice as a type of law enforcement state activity, through which judicial power is exercised; unresolved problems of legal regulation, weighed down by a layer of new gaps caused by the digitalization of justice and the use of artificial intelligence. In this regard, the author defines the directions for improving the legal regulation of procedural legal relations implemented in electronic format.
