Abstract

This article examines the impact of digitalization on the legal profession, focusing on major transformations within the judicial system. Key technological innovations are explored, including the implementation of electronic case files, the use of email for procedural document communication, conducting hearings via videoconferencing, and other digital solutions. These changes have brought significant benefits, such as increased accessibility, cost reduction, and time savings, but have also posed challenges related to system standardization, attorney-client confidentiality, and ensuring effective communication. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of lawyers adapting to new technologies, arguing that the future of the legal profession lies in a synergy between artificial and human intelligence, fostering a more efficient and accessible judicial system.
