Abstract
The subject of the study is social relations in the field of the use of digital technologies in the administration of justice.
The purpose of the study is to identify and describe the positive and negative effects of the use of information technology in the administration of justice in their interrelation and interdependence. The hypothesis of the study assumes the existence of a set of interrelated and interdependent effects of the use of digital technologies that affect the administration of justice in different ways (positively and negatively).
The categorical and symbolic method “hexagram” is applied. The most significant positive effects of the use of digital technologies in the administration of justice are: realization of the human rights; access to justice; optimization of the work of the court. The most significant negative effects of the use of digital technologies in the administration of justice are: digital inequality, risks of information security violation, the risk of losing the individualization of court decisions.
The obtained result can be used in the selection of priority areas for the implementation of digital technologies in the administration of justice, as well as in the planning of this activity, prevention of risks of violation of human rights or principles of justice in connection with the use of digital technologies.
