Abstract
The article presents the results of the possibility of stimulating innovative activity of the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine. The author summarized the advantages and limitations of the introduction of new technologies in the judiciary and highlighted the main results of the implementation of the concept of e-court in Ukraine. The author emphasizes that in the organizational dimension the idea of e-justice has become much more specific and took the form of transferring the virtual circulation of court documents. This conflict between the desired (ideal) modeling of the legal community regarding the virtualization of the judiciary and the functionally limited application has created significant problems in the course of further reform of the “digitalization” of the judiciary. In this context, the author analyzed the problems of implementation of the Unified Judicial Information and Telecommunication System and identified a key problem that prevents the digitalization process from being included in the principles of full and independent justice – assigning the SJA the role of executor rather than a strategist. According to the results of the study, the author proposed amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On the Judiciary and the Status of Judges”, the purpose of which is to transfer the work of the SJA to a proactive regime for innovation.
