The impact of digitalization on administrative proceedings: challenges and prospects

the article examines the impact of digital technologies on administrative proceedings in Russia and foreign countries. Key digitalization directions are analyzed: implementation of electronic courts, online hearings, and automation of document flow. The advantages of digitalization are considered, including increased access to justice, reduced time costs, and improved transparency of judicial processes. Main challenges are identified: problems of protecting restricted access information, the need to reconsider the principle of publicity in digital environment, and risks of digital inequality. International experience of administrative proceedings digitalization in China, Singapore, Estonia, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan is studied. The concept of «reasonable» digitalization with preservation of the judge's key role in decision-making is substantiated. Directions for legislation improvement are proposed, including creation of a unified normative act on restricted access information and amendments to the Administrative Procedure Code of the Russian Federation.
