On the Effectiveness of the Digital Legal Proceedings Model in Russia

Abstract

Within the framework of this research, on the basis of the dialectical unity of its legal and mathematical components, on the basis of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, deduction and induction, abstraction, structural and functional method) and special research methods (formal-legal, method of legal construction, formal-logical, system, technical-legal analysis, statistical method, methods of mathematical statistics and probability theory, etc.), a model of digital legal proceedings in Russia is proposed. The article explains the optimal variant between the components of the digital legal proceedings model in Russia, as well as providing an analysis and evaluation of the effectiveness of the digital legal proceedings model and the prospects for the development of digital legal proceedings. It is concluded that there is a need to develop legal regulation in terms of introducing the definition of “electronic evidence”, types of electronic evidence; it is recognized as a positive practice of implementing a video-conferencing system that ensures the implementation of citizens’ rights to participate in a court session, which significantly reduces the time for case consideration; the need to create a single Internet portal for receiving, processing, and providing electronic documents by all authorities in Russia is explained. In this research, it is explained that the use of mathematical algorithms in evaluating evidence and modeling the behavior of participants in trials is now at an early stage of development, which allows them to be used only in the consideration of similar cases.
