IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ELECTRONIC COURT SYSTEM: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS IN THE EXPERIENCE OF UZBEKISTAN AND ESTONIA

Abstract

In the era of rapidly developing information technologies, as a result of the increasing demand for digital technologies and artificial intelligence in public administration and the legal system, states are creating a digital environment in their judicial systems, as in all areas. As a result, the electronic court system serves to simplify judicial processes, ensure their openness and transparency, and create convenience in applying to court. However, the integration of these digital technologies into the judicial system also shows its negative aspects. This article analyzes the existing problems and development trends in the implementation of the electronic court system. The main attention is paid to the reforms being carried out in Uzbekistan to introduce the electronic court system, the organizational, technical and legal shortcomings associated with the electronic conduct of court cases, the automation of online services and processes. Also, the practice of Estonia, which has advanced experience in the field of digital transformation and technological innovations, is studied on the basis of comparative legal analysis. According to the results of the study, it is concluded that strategic directions can be developed using national experience and foreign best practices to improve the e-court system and bring it to a new level.
