Summary/Abstract: In order to improve the efficiency, accountability and transparency of the judiciary and to create a modern and comprehensible judicial system in modern conditions, especially during the state of emergency caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, it is necessary to upgrade the existing ones or build modern information systems for the judicial system. The application of these systems in cyber courtrooms, in criminal proceedings and in the judicial system as a whole would allow: optimization of human resources; rationalization of financial resources; automation; reducing, as far as possible, the impact of the human factor on the effectiveness of the judiciary; reduction of paper documentation and introduction of electronic data and their electronic exchange between the judicial authorities and other state institutions; and protecting the health and safety of people during an emergency. Such changes require a normative determination of "different conditions for conducting" the criminal proceedings and their introduction into the positive legal framework.
