Social networks have become a powerful tool for information and educational work and can contribute to increasing public confidence in the judiciary. However, the use of social media generates ethical issues with new challenges. The main purpose of the research is to analyze some of the main international legal aspects of the problems of judicial ethics in social networks.

In the global age, using social media has become a daily activity for most people. Social media has become a powerful advocacy tool and can increase public confidence in the judiciary. Judges should be careful when using social media. When posting materials on social networks, it should be taken into account that everything that they publish will remain even after deletion, and the information provided by the judge may be misinterpreted and taken out of context. When writing an anonymous comment online, keep in mind that there are different ways to identify a person. Any personal information or photos posted on the social network must be modest and appropriate.
