The article is devoted to identifying problems in providing publicity and openness of the court proceedings throguhthe use of new technologies and the preparation of proposals aimed at their elimination in today’s Ukraine.In modern world, the importance of information in the field of justice is significantly increasing, which is facilitatedby a new feature of information – its digital form and the development of IT, which provide instant speed of its dissemination.The use of IT has become an indispensable tool in the judicial systems of many countries. Long-term global experiencein the use of IT in the judiciary, especially in the EU, shows a significant improvement in the provision of judicial servicesto citizens.During the state of war, some national courts did not stop their work, some – carried it out remotely. There is a generaldecrease in appeals to the courts, which is explained, in particular, by the lack of real access to justice for a large part of the population of Ukraine, caused by problems of providing publicity and openness of the court proceedings. Amongthem are restrictions on obtaining court services using the lnew technologies, up to the deprivation of such an opportunityin general under the current difficult conditions.The use of the Unified Judiciary Information Telecommunication System (UJITS) in the state of war can ensure safeaccess to justice for human life and health, on the one hand, and the administration of justice by the national judiciary,on the other.Improving the interaction of judicial institutions with the public requires the improvement of procedural legislation,in particular, on notifying participants in court proceedings of changes in territorial jurisdiction, restoration of territorialjurisdiction (especially in state of war and emergency).
