The article addresses current issues in the legal regulation of the application of information technologies in administrative proceedings in Ukraine. It analyzes the prerequisites for updating the current legislation in the field of justice, which has served as the basis for significant reforms in the judicial system of Ukraine. Particular attention is paid to the role of information technologies in ensuring citizens’ access to justice, which is especially relevant under modern conditions, particularly during martial law. The study examines key directions of digitalization in judicial activities and their impact on the organization of administrative proceedings. It elaborates on the main concepts related to the application of information technologies, such as electronic document management, process automation, and the integration of telecommunication subsystems. The legal regulation of information technologies is defined as the targeted influence of administrative courts on social relations through the use of legal and technical tools to structure, protect, and safeguard these relations. The article outlines the scope of legal acts governing the use of information technologies in judicial proceedings, with a focus on the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine «On the Judiciary and the Status of Judges,» and provisions on the functioning of the Unified Judicial Information and Telecommunication System (UJITS). It emphasizes that UJITS is a key instrument of judicial digitalization, facilitating the optimization of document circulation, reducing administrative burdens, and ensuring transparency in judicial procedures. Several challenges hindering the effective functioning of electronic justice are highlighted. These include insufficient technical equipment in courts, difficulties with the use of electronic signatures, regulatory gaps, and the absence of a unified practice in applying digital tools. The study underscores the importance of further improving the legislative framework, implementing modern cybersecurity standards, enhancing the technical capacity of the judicial system, and ensuring equal access to electronic judicial services for all participants in the process.
