Digital Justice “Model of the United Arab Emirates"

Abstract

Objectives: The research aims to study the concept of digital justice and explore the requirements for transforming the justice system, shifting from traditional and paper-based justice to a generally intelligent digital justice. The study also delves into the experience of the United Arab Emirates in this regard. Methodology: The research employed descriptive and analytical approaches in examining legal texts, jurisprudential opinions, and related articles. It was divided into three main sections: firstly, defining the nature of digital justice; secondly, addressing the requisites of digital transformation in the justice system in general; and thirdly, analyzing the experience of the United Arab Emirates in this transformation. Results: Digital justice has become an imperative necessity for advancing the judicial system globally. It is no longer feasible to discuss comprehensive justice within a society without digitizing judicial procedures, wholly or partially, and facilitating access to legal and judicial information for those concerned. Achieving comprehensive digital justice necessitates robust and suitable legislative and material infrastructures, a pursuit that the United Arab Emirates has undertaken and continues to develop across its legal, judicial, and administrative entities involved in this matter. Conclusion: The research advocates the ongoing development of digital justice in the United Arab Emirates and other countries, urging the continual adaptation of emerging digital technologies to serve justice. Time will not stand still or revert backwards, and digital transformation has become an essential imposition across various aspects of life.
