Court modernization through digitization benefits not only the judges but also both attorneys and litigants.

Qualified implementing regulations and tiered socialization have not been utilized in the judicial context to support law enforcement’s readiness to carry out the judicial process electronically. This article further addresses the safety of personal and judicial data, and the security of electronic court proceedings, bearing in mind that applications of information technology should be considerate of the community’s need for access to justice as well as the court’s interests in preserving its authority.
