Summary/Abstract: For the last two years, the entire world has been under the ban imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. These prohibitions have materialized in the social environment through numerous restrictions, which have produced effects both in the legal systems, taken as a whole, and in the judicial systems themselves. Due to the need to continue judicial proceedings, different and varied solutions have been envisioned and used in most legal systems. As the Covid-19 Pandemic has ended, of course, it is necessary to analyze the extent to which the solutions implemented during this period are still valid or useful. This paper aims to analyze the possibility of implementing permanent digital tools to improve the functioning of the judiciary. A first premise considered in the drafting of this paper is related to the need to ensure the fastest possible access to the information of a file in the judicial circuit, while the second premise concerns the possibility of conducting legal proceedings by means of distance communication, including in civil trials, which would undoubtedly lead to a significant reduction in legal costs. At the end of the paper, a few conclusions are presented regarding the possible use of digital instruments and solutions on a permanent basis, not only during the period of restrictions imposed because of the onset of pandemics.
