Selected issues of development of electronic justice in the realities of the Russian digital economy.
The article discusses the fact that in the context of the society digitalization, public institutions with the words digital or electronic in their names are emerging. Earlier we could only imagine a gadget or a generalized technology as electronic, however these days these can include the processes of communication, education, trade (e-commerce), as well as global society-type or state-type institutions. Such a state institution as electronic justice is interesting for research, since any member of society, regardless of citizenship, age, or legal capacity, can become its participant. For example, minor children of a married couple can participate in divorce proceedings; stateless persons or persons with foreign citizenship (nationality) can act as a party to a civil case on termination of a lease agreement; and incapacitated persons can be a party to cases considered in special proceedings. In other words, electronic justice reflects in the life of every person and every situation that can be resolved in court. In this regard, according to the article author, it is important to assess the extent to which electronic justice in Russia is developed, accessible, and effective. Given the vast territory of the state, different income levels, coverage areas with access to high-speed Internet connection, large distances from settlements to the nearest judicial authorities in accordance with the requirements for jurisdiction, the issue of accessibility of electronic justice for everyone is acute and relevant.
