Information technologies in judicial activities: yesterday and today

information technologies in domestic government bodies, including the judicial system, currently play a significant role. Their use contributes to the accelerated exchange of information, openness of the structures' activities to society, and also contributes to successful document flow in a short time. It should be recognized that digitalization has launched the transformation of many socio-legal processes, social institutions and legal relations. Moreover, it was information technologies that came to the fore during the global Covid-19 pandemic. Currently, most of the population is familiar with digital technologies and actively uses them. The basis for the preparation of the presented article were the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation concerning the introduction of information technologies in the judicial system. The digitalization of justice has been going on for a long time, for more than 20 years, so the research methodology includes both general humanitarian and specifically legal research methods. The current state of widespread implementation of digital technologies in the judicial system of the Russian Federation has both positive and negative sides. Of course, over the past decades, a huge step has been made in the field of digitalization, but at present the system requires modernization, updating of computer equipment, as well as improving the competence of personnel involved in working with digitalization of information.
