This publication analyzes the critical issues surrounding the necessary digital reform of the justice system, using criminal proceedings as an example. It points out that digitization represents a fundamental paradigm shift in the concept of a fair trial—which
must be accompanied by appropriate changes in the law. It also identifies the need to implement numerous new tools in criminal proceedings, including a virtual courtroom (conference room) for remote hearings. Specific amendments to criminal procedure regulations are proposed, emphasizing the necessity of a broader legislative revision covering exclusively digital issues. On the one hand, the digitization of criminal proceedings (e-justice) offers the potential to expedite proceedings and facilitate access to case files; on the other hand, however, it poses serious threats to the fairness of the trial. It also imposes significant financial burdens on the state. Key risks include: digital exclusion, the erosion of the principle of directness, and issues regarding the confidentiality of communications and the transparency of proceedings. A full understanding of these risks and the associated costs is essential for the e-justice system to effectively support the administration of justice.
