The Digitalization of the Hungarian Justice system

Abstract

The development of information technology and the growing use of electric devices have had a significant impact on the Hungarian justice system. Furthermore, the recent pandemic which was caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) also showed that in some cases it can be vital to use electronic communication in legal procedures. In our current study, we aim to analyse the recent changes and trends that affected the Hungarian civil and criminal procedures. We introduce the reader that how these procedures became more and more digitalized throughout recent years. Our article explores the practical problems and difficulties which came from the new ways of communication. After the analysis, we give proposals for the future on how the justice system can further improve.
