DIGITAL FORMAT OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS: REALITIES AND PROSPECTS

One of the key objectives of administrative proceedings is the digital transformation of public administration. In line with this principle, the administrative court system has initiated automation, the integration of artificial intelligence elements, and robotic process implementation. The adoption of digital justice has become a global trend, ensuring accessibility and transparency of court decisions while reducing time and resource costs for both courts and other participants in judicial proceedings. Automated case distribution also minimizes corruption risks. Countries such as Singapore, the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Kazakhstan showcase various approaches to the digitalization of justice, including online filing systems, automation, and artificial intelligence applications. At the same time, the digitalization of judicial proceedings raises legal concerns regarding essential aspects such as digital privacy, security, and maintaining a balance between efficiency and the protection of citizens' rights. The successful operation of the digital justice format requires further improvements in regulatory frameworks. The primary aim of this study is to analyze the current realities of digital technology utilization in administrative proceedings, compare scientific approaches, and conduct an analytical review. Observations have shown that aspects of judicial digitalization are a subject of research in the works of most civil law scholars, experts, analysts, and researchers in the fields of civil and criminal procedure. However, in the sphere of administrative proceedings, the use of digital technologies within the administrative court system remains insufficiently explored. Based on existing scientific approaches and an analytical review, this article attempts to conduct an independent study.
