The Aim
National e-justice systems are an important power for national economy and civil society.
The globalization of the economy, social trends and other factors present new demands on judiciaries internationally, while at the same time technological and communicational advances offer opportunities to judicial policy makers to make justice more accessible, transparent and effective.
International terrorism, illegal immigration, rise in violent crimes, and the "globalisation" of organized crime are significant examples of the new challenges for criminal justice, while the increasing number of civil cases and criminal cases in the national judicial systems constitutes a major challenge for the judicial organisations. ICT deployment in European civil and criminal judicial systems is a key element to face these challenges and to improve significantly the administration of justice. The rapid development of technologies opens new opportunities, both during criminal investigations and trials and in civil litigations, Justice of Peace, labour, bankruptcy, thanks to the increased capabilities to exchange and use data, documents and information within and between judicial operators, police forces, public prosecutors offices and courts.
The ICT4JUSTICE conference aims to foster the experience exchange in establishing and enhancing the national e-justice systems, especially to share different experiences at portals, integration, applications, and examples of good practices, to present world’s latest trends in e-justice sector, and the future oriented services in justice sector.
