Role of public schools in education decisions in rural India

AbstractEducation is a fundamental pillar of human development, and India's Right to Education Act 2009 established it as a basic right for children aged 5–14. Despite this, many children in rural India still struggle to access basic schooling, which affects their ability to continue their education. In this paper, we explore factors influencing school participation and continuation of children aged 5–16 years in rural India, with a specific focus on the role of having an appropriate public school within the village after the Act's implementation. An ‘appropriate school’ is defined based on the last class a child attended. Using data from the nationally representative Annual Survey of Education Report (ASER), our analysis employs a pooled cross‐section logistical model. The findings reveal that the presence of an appropriate public school in the village significantly increases the likelihood of a child attending school. This effect is particularly pronounced for girls, highlighting the importance of accessible schooling in fulfilling the Right to Education Act's objectives.The results underscore the need for policy makers to ensure the availability of appropriate public schools at all educational levels within villages, as this is crucial for enhancing school attendance and reducing dropout rates, especially among girls. Context and implications Rationale of the study: To understand how inadequate and unequal access to school infrastructure, especially the absence of government schools, explains a significant proportion of children in India not completing their schooling. Why the new findings matter: The findings strongly underscore the importance of ensuring access to a school within the village, particularly for girls. Implications: There is a need to view school education as one composite goal to enhance participation and reduce dropout rates across all levels, aligning with the Samagra Shiksha scheme's principles of equitable access to all levels of education and inclusion of disadvantaged groups. Achieving these goals requires investment in existing school infrastructure to support expansion and resource provision for higher levels of schooling. With educational spending at approximately 3% of GDP between 2010 and 2020, much lower than the 6% recommended by the National Education Policy 2020, addressing this gap presents an opportunity to improve educational outcomes nationwide.

The law politics of bankruptcy decision execution against debtor's assets abroad

The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze law politics related to the execution of bankruptcy decisions against debtor assets abroad. The research method used is normative legal research with a qualitative descriptive analysis method approach, based on comparative law, with prescriptive analytical specifications. The research findings conclude that sovereignty is interpreted as the responsibility to improve and protect all national and international community interests, manifested in the form of the state's ability to interact and establish relations with countries in the world, as well as cooperate and coordinate bilaterally, multilaterally and in international organizations. The provisions on international bankruptcy in Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 37 of 2004 concerning Bankruptcy and Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations or Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 37 Tahun 2004 tentang Kepailitan dan Penundaan Kewajiban Pembayaran Utang (Bankruptcy Law) are similar to the Dutch Bankruptcy Law, there are no comprehensive regulations related to international bankruptcy. To ensure legal certainty, a legal policy is needed in the form of changes and updates to the Bankruptcy Law by adding articles to apply the principles of international bankruptcy in the Model Law, namely the Principle of Access, the Principle of Recognition, the Principle of Assistance and the Principle of Cooperation and Coordination, as applied in the US Bankruptcy Code Chapter 15. Article 299 of the Bankruptcy Law also needs to be amended so that the procedural law applied is the special procedural law for international bankruptcy.

Assessing the Principle of Equitable Access versus Non-Appropriation in the Era of Mega-Constellations

In the 21st century, mega-constellations and interconnected satellite constellations deployed at various orbital altitudes, such as LEO, MEO, and GEO, with low Earth orbits (LEOs) being the most commonly used, have emerged as a trend, aiming to enhance the productivity and reduce the costs in space service delivery. The UNOOSA has noted the uncertainty in the exact number of satellites but conducted simulations based on a substantial sample, projecting a significant increase from the 2075 satellites recorded in orbit in 2018. This surge in the launch of mega-constellations poses profound challenges to existing international space laws, originally formulated with limited consideration for private space actors, who are increasingly engaging in space activities, particularly with the cost-effective utilization of mega-constellations. This study critically analyzes the compatibility of mega-constellations with the current international space laws by examining the applicability of mega-constellations concerning equitable access and the non-appropriation principle, addressing their potential occupation of substantial orbital spaces during activities, and analyzing whether the acquisition of orbital slot licenses violates these two principles. Following an in-depth analysis, this study proposes recommendations to amend the existing laws, aiming to resolve ambiguities and address emerging challenges. Recognizing the time-consuming process of amending international space laws, this study suggests practical recommendations for supplementary rules of the road, prompting reflection on the potential obsolescence of the current international space laws in the face of evolving space activities.

Adopting a pedagogy of connection for medical education.

In this article, we propose developing a "pedagogy of connection" based on the history and evolution of medical education in Brazil. This pedagogy emerged from the intersection of the healthcare and higher educational systems, both dedicated to the principles of social justice and universal access, in response to the country's efforts to address the enduring impacts of slavery and social inequality. Following the "Sanitary Reformation" movement-a foundational moment for Brazil's healthcare and medical education systems-Brazil established the Unified Public Healthcare System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS). SUS is founded on principles of universality, integrality, equity, community participation, political and administrative decentralisation, hierarchisation and regionalisation. Aligned with these core principles and inspired by critical pedagogy, Brazilian medical education has evolved with a profound commitment to social justice, critical consciousness, professional presence and compassion. This evolution has given rise to a "pedagogy of connection," which imbues medical education with a sense of purpose and joy, preparing future medical professionals to address the challenges of our ever-evolving society and healthcare systems. The connections fostered by this pedagogy occur in complementary dimensions: (a) healthcare system and society, (b) community, (c) profession, (d) patients, and (e) ourselves. This innovative pedagogy enhances medical education discourse and practice by emphasising the development of a professional identity grounded in social justice and patient-centred care, which remain challenges for current medical education systems. As the global medical education community embraces decolonisation, this pedagogy offers a framework that can be adapted and enriched in various contexts worldwide, fostering opportunities for mutual learning from diverse educational systems in a dialogical and democratic manner.

EDI in academic–policy engagement: lived experience of university based knowledge brokers and marginalised academics

Background: Discourse surrounding Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) has received significant attention within the UK academy and knowledge brokerage contexts, and more recently within academic–policy engagement spaces (Walker et al, 2019a; Fawcett, 2021; GOV.UK, 2021; Morris et al, 2021). Key players in this space identify the need for diversifying academic participation, as well as diversifying knowledges (GOV.UK, 2021; UK Parliament, 2018; UKRI, 2023). However, conceptual and practical insight on embedding EDI principles (and what they mean in this context) within academic–policy engagement processes is missing. Aims and objectives: Underpinned by feminist and decolonial epistemological concepts, this article addresses this gap by outlining strategies, and surfacing ways in which EDI within academic–policy engagement is experienced, conceptualised, understood and considered. Methods: Two parallel qualitative studies, with a total of 20 semi-structured narrative and realist interviews conducted with marginalised researchers (n=10, Study A) and university based knowledge brokers (n=10, Study B), and a rapid literature review. The analysis used a narrative and thematic framework. Findings and discussion: We found a want for EDI to go beyond just diversity of people and representation, towards fostering foundational principles of epistemic justice, equitable access, value-driven engagement and plurality. Academics and knowledge brokers reported both negative and positive experiences within this space that related to known EDI issues. We conclude that EDI cannot be standardised across higher education contexts, and emphasise the need for holistic, relational and plural approaches to EDI across academic–policy engagement systems through a value-led, equitable and ethical lens.

Transparency of the Swedish Competition Authority

The constitutional principle of access to public records and the administrative principle of parties’ right to access their files create transparency in the Swedish Competition Authority. In many ways Swedish law is built on the same ideas as EU law. However, the Swedish constitution requires more specific provisions on confidentiality in statutes decided by the Parliament. As regards the Swedish Competition Authority, five different sections of the law protect confidentiality, depending on who is to be protected, what activities are concerned, what kind of information is involved and how likely it is that someone will be harmed. These detailed provisions can in principle contribute to predictability, limiting the authorities’ discretional power, but they also constitute a complex patchwork that can be difficult to comprehend. A problematic legal conflict would arise if a document were confidential according to EU law, for example to protect trade secrets, but not confidential according to Swedish law. However, so far, EU law has only been invoked to expand the right to access to documents, especially regarding companies that intend to bring action for competition law damages.

Developing voluntary sector leadership through open educational resources: a practice perspective

We outline key elements of learning design and explore the potential and challenges of widening access to leadership development through this form of learning. We note the importance of aligning the conceptualisation of the leadership approach to learning and the principles of open access. The paper ends by offering insights for leadership development practitioners.

Development of an economic and information system for the optimization of city traffic flows

The paper presents a critical analysis of current approaches to reorganizing urban transportation routes. It proposes addressing the problem of optimizing traffic flows as a multidimensional issue encompassing social and economic aspects. An economic-information model for continuous monitoring and optimization of urban traffic flow configurations based on the criterion of congestion wait time has been developed. The calculation of the economic consequences of such waiting time is proposed. The developed system has practical significance and can be applied in managing traffic flows as an economic subsystem of the city within its socio-economic system. Urban transportation infrastructure in Ukraine faces significant challenges due to social changes, including increasing passenger flow, extended waiting times, and the need to adhere to modern urban planning standards. Current trends involve redistributing street and road space based on principles of equal access and safety. This includes pilot actions, intermediate reconstruction, and comprehensive reorganization of urban space and transportation routes. Proposed methods for enhancing transportation infrastructure include improving government management, implementing proactive management strategies, executing investment projects, establishing public-private partnerships, temporarily reducing tax burdens, developing comprehensive solutions for consumers, and optimizing transportation pricing. These strategies aim to address the pressing problems in Ukraine's transport sector and facilitate sustainable development and growth. The study focuses on the financing of infrastructural projects in Dnipro city through the municipal budget. It proposes integrating economic-mathematical models into a unified economic-information system for optimizing traffic flows, allowing for continuous monitoring and improvement. This system emphasizes minimizing congestion wait times and can adapt to dynamic changes in traffic patterns, ensuring efficient and effective urban traffic management. By implementing this system, the city can enhance its transportation network, contributing to overall economic efficiency and better quality of life for its residents.

Open Access Models of Russian Academic Journals

Open access (OA) to publications has been a global trend in publishing academic journals for a long time. The number of OA journals, including Russian ones, is growing steadily. The purpose of this study was to determine the main trends in the implementation of open access publishing models in Russian research journals. The article presents the results of a study of 396 journals included in the Russian Science Citation Index database: title of a journal; website address; international classification code (OECD group); quartile; Science Index indicator; open access model; license type; section of a journal’s website that contains information about the absence or presence and amount of an article processing charge (APC). It is concluded that the majority of journals implement Bronze OA which, firstly, does not comply with the key principles of open access, because it does not use open licenses, and, secondly, does not provide any guarantees that open access will continue to be open. The lack of accessible and transparent information about the conditions for further use of publications can create serious legal issues for the licensee. In turn, it will most likely be a problem for authors to calculate the amount of publication fee.

Preconditions for the realization of the right to initiate the case on the establishment, renewal and revocation of judicial protection measures

The principle of free access to justice is guaranteed and protected by both the Constitution of the Republic Moldova and international treaties. Free access to justice is not an absolute right and may be limited by the establishment of admissibility conditions. Therefore, the realization of the right to initiate civil proceedings determined by the meeting of certain prerequisites and conditions established by law. In this article we propose to address a problem of the preconditions of realization of the right to initiate the case for the establishment, renewal or revocation of judicial protection measures. In this article we will explain the general aspects regarding the preconditions of the realization of the right to initiate the case, and directly on the premises of realization of the right to initiate the case for the establishment, renewal or revocation of judicial protection measures. At the same time, anticipating the events, we specify that this scientific article will make a joint body with another article that will investigate the issue of the conditions for the realization of the right to initiate the case for the establishment, renewal or revocation of judicial protection measures.

Universal health coverage and equal access in Sweden: a century-long perspective on macro-level policy

BackgroundWhen today’s efforts to achieve universal health coverage are mainly directed towards low-income settings, it is perhaps easy to forget that countries considered to have universal, comprehensive and high-performing health systems have also undergone this journey. In this article, the aim is to provide a century-long perspective to illustrate Sweden’s long and ongoing journey towards universal health coverage and equal access to healthcare.MethodsThe focus is on macro-level policy. A document analysis is divided into three broad eras (1919–1955; 1955–1989; 1989–) and synthesises seven points in time when policies relevant to overarching goals and regulation of universal health coverage and equal access were proposed and/or implemented. The development is analysed and concluded in relation to two egalitarian goals in the context of health: equality of access and equal treatment for equal need.ResultsOver the past century, macro-level policy evolved from the concept of creating access for the neediest and those reliant on wages for their survival to a mandatory insurance with equal right to healthcare for all. However, universal health coverage was not achieved until 1955, and individuals had to rely on their personal financial resources to cover the cost at the time of care utilization until the 1970s. It was not until 1983 that legislation explicitly stated that access to healthcare should be equal for the entire population (horizontal equity), while a vertical equity-principle was not added until 1997. Subsequently, ideas of free choice and privatization have gained significance. For instance, they aim to increase service access, addressing the Swedish health system’s Achilles’ heel in this regard. However, the principle of equal access for all is now being challenged by the emergence of private health insurance, which offers quicker access to services.Conclusions: brief summary and potential implicationsIt can be concluded that there is no perpetual Swedish healthcare model and various dimensions of access have been the focus of policy discussion. The discussion on access barriers has shifted from financial to personal and organizational ones. Today, Sweden still ranks high in terms of affordability and equity in international comparisons: although not as well as a decade ago. Whether this marks the beginning of a new trend intertwined with a decline in Sweden’s welfare ‘exceptionalism’, or is a temporary decline remains to be assessed in the future.

Selection and integration of adjustable load in multiple scenarios

In the context of the “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals”, the new electricity systems are evolving towards source-load friendly interactions. At the same time, the increasing necessity for adjustable loads to participate in the power balance of the new electricity systems is highlighted. Consequently, a large-scale source-grid-load design scheme is proposed. It employs three independent communication channels to facilitate communication between users and intelligent grid-load terminals. Based on analysis of the individual loads and equipment characteristics of each user, principles for user shunt load access principle and adjustable loads are formulated by combining the maximum duration, frequency constraints, and compliance costs. Furthermore, it proposes construction plans for both the customer side in a single distribution room and the customer side distributed across different locations. According to the experimental analysis of 245 users, the response time of the experimental system is less than 600 ms. These advancements enhance the emergency response speed and responsiveness, contributing to the advancement of precise, real-time, and lean management of the demand side of the power grid.

Certain aspects of the realization of the suspect’s right to defense in the criminal process of Ukraine

The article is devoted to the consideration of certain aspects of the implementation of the suspect’s right to defense in the criminal process of Ukraine. It is noted that one of the principles of criminal proceedings is ensuring the right to defense. Thus, according to Article 20 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, a suspect, accused, acquitted, convicted person has the right to defense, which consists in giving him the opportunity to provide oral or written explanations about the suspicion or accusation, the right to collect and submit evidence, to take personal part in criminal proceedings, to use the legal assistance of a defender, as well as to exercise other procedural rights provided for by this Code.
 The author emphasized the multifaceted approaches to defining the definition of «protection», which is evidenced by the diversity of viewpoints of scientists on this issue.
 The article emphasizes that a person’s right to defense is connected with the initiation of criminal proceedings, namely from the time of entering information into the EDDR or informing a person of suspicion of committing a criminal offense and acquiring the status of a suspect.
 The participation of a defense attorney in the criminal process is an important guarantee of ensuring the suspect’s right to defense. An essential feature of the lawyer’s procedural status is the obligation to use the procedural rights granted to him in the interests of his client.
 It is noted that in European countries attention is paid to the principle of early access to legal aid. In order to effectively implement the suspect’s right to defense in the criminal process of Ukraine, it is also necessary to apply the precedent practice of the ECtHR.
 The author draws attention to the fact that among the main violations related to the participation of the defense counsel in criminal proceedings, it is appropriate to single out: failure to ensure the mandatory participation of the defense counsel in cases provided for by law; restriction of the right to freely choose a defense counsel; obstacles to the implementation of procedural rights, which are associated with obtaining free legal aid.

Evaluation of the Limitation of Operational Parameters of the IEEE 802.11 ac Network in the 20MHz Channel

IEEE 802.11 wireless network technologies are widely used to create corporate and personal local networks for data exchange and access to Internet resources. The main principle of operation of IEEE 802.11 networks is the principle of competitive access, according to which all wireless network users have the same access rights to the information transmission environment. This method of access leads to the occurrence of collisions in networks with a large number of users, which complicates the process of network functioning and leads to the degradation of quality indicators. The purpose of the study is to estimate the limit values of the operational characteristics of the IEEE 802.11 ac wireless network in the mode with the highest transmission rate (MCS8) in a frequency channel of 20 MHz with one spatial stream, provided that the network has a significant number of active stations with a saturated load. An alternative model of processes in IEEE 802.11 networks based on the concept of a virtual competitive window is used for research. According to the concept of virtual contention window (VCW), the process of data transmission in a network with competitive access is considered as a quasi-stationary process. Numerical data were obtained and graphs of channel bandwidth, transmission delay, and delay non-uniformity were given in the presence of one to sixteen active stations with a saturated load in the network, in the case of transmission of frames with a data volume of 512 or 1500 bytes. The maximum possible bandwidth of the channel with a frequency band of 20 MHz (68.387 bit/s) was determined, in the case of using frames with the maximum load (11454 bytes) provided by the standard. Estimated data on the number of collisions occurring in a network with a saturated load and the number of frames transmitted at various stages of channel access are also provided. The frame transmission delay increases almost proportionally to the number of active stations and varies from 0.605 ms to 5.293 ms, in the case of loading all data frames of 512 bytes, and from 0.785 to 6.41 ms, in the case of a load of 1500 bytes, for changes in the number of active stations in the network from 2 to 16. The unevenness of the delay exceeds the average delay and grows non-linearly, in the case of an increase in the number of active stations from 1 to 6 (CWmin=15), and linearly — with a further increase in the number of stations (over 6). The obtained results are useful for reasonable planning of wireless networks and configuration of network equipment parameters.

Open access and open licensing by Russian journals

In the circumstances of transforming institution of intellectual property, the journals have to find balance between the open science initiatives and legal regulations. The purpose of the study is to define whether Russian academic journals conform to open science initiatives and, in particular, to the open access principles and open licensing terms. The author discusses the findings of the study encompassing 450 journals in the Russian Science Citation Index database (as of December 1, 2022) using the following criteria: journal allocation site, archive depth, access principle, license terms and the website section on licensing terms. Based on the obtained data systematization and analysis, the trends for Russian academic journals are formulated: in general, they are ready for introducing open access principles. By choosing open licensing, most of the Russian academic journals are ready to offer maximum freedom in using their publications. The author developed several recommendations for the journals as the sites of scientific data exchange, and for the researchers as the users, generators and disseminators of these data.

A pathway to strengthening open science: comments on the draft South African Ethics in Health Research Guidelines.

The recently released draft South African Ethics in Health Research Guidelines: Principles, Processes and Structures (Draft Guidelines) by the National Health Research Ethics Council recognize open data and provide guiding principles for this in the context of health research in South Africa. While its inclusion is a positive development, there is room for improvement. Although the Draft Guidelines leverage the Draft National Policy on Data and Cloud, it lacks incorporation of other relevant government policies, notably the Draft National Open Science Policy, and fails to sufficiently detail the principles of open science and open access. This limited scope and lack of comprehensive definition and detailed guidance present challenges for researchers in conducting ethical and responsible health research in South Africa. It constrains the Draft Guidelines from fully aligning with national imperatives and from fostering African-centric approaches. To address these issues, it is recommended that the Draft Guidelines integrate broader policies and principles, enhance clarity through comprehensive definitions, provide detailed guidance on open access, and promote African-centric approaches. Implementing these solutions will strengthen the Draft Guidelines, aligning them with national visions of open science, and thereby harnessing the full potential of South Africa's diverse scientific community in advancing health research.

Limits of the Evidence Initiative of the Court of First Instance and the Reliable Evidence Procedure

Abstract This article aims to delineate the boundaries of the evidence initiative of the Court of the First Instance, which bears the responsibility to fulfil the goals of criminal proceedings, as outlined in Article 2 § 1 item 1 and § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, from the perspective of evidence reliability, an essential component of the fair criminal trial concept. The court’s evidentiary actions were thus examined through the lens of requirements stemming from Article 6(1) and (3) of the ECHR, especially the principles of independence, impartiality, adversarial process, immediacy, and access to criminal proceeding materials. The article adopts a dogmatic approach, building on an analysis of current national legal standards and the Rome Convention’s provisions, viewed through doctrine and jurisprudence of national courts and the Court in Strasbourg. This makes the publication relevant for both legal scholars and practitioners involved in criminal proceedings. The analysis suggests that the court’s initiative to introduce evidence, its methods of evidence gathering, and access to collected materials during proceedings must not curtail the rights of the parties, especially the accused, to conduct their evidentiary activities. Depriving the court of the primacy of independence and impartiality, restricting the parties’ capacity to engage in dispute in favour of an inquisitorial jurisdictional body violates the right to fair evidentiary proceedings. The court, in safeguarding the principle of material truth, must remember its role as a justice administrator and balance all arguments accordingly. Seeking evidence solely to establish the accused’s guilt contradicts the procedural function of adjudication and compromises the court’s neutrality, making it an extension of the prosecution. Hence, a thorough elucidation of case circumstances by the court should not disempower the parties, particularly regarding their initiative to present evidence.

Enabling local provision of assistive products in rural South India: an organisational survey of needs, barriers, and facilitators

Objective: Access to assistive products (APs) is essential to maximising function, participation, and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Challenges to AP access in low- and middle-income countries include stigma, costs, supply, and rehabilitation capacity gaps. This study aimed to examine AT access in the context of a low-resource setting in rural South India. Objectives were to examine rehabilitation professionals’ perceptions of AP needs, barriers and facilitators of AP provision, and AT knowledge.Methods: A descriptive study design with a 2-part online survey methodology was utilized. This study was conducted in April-September 2020 at a non-governmental organization (NGO) serving children and adults with disabilities in 3 districts of rural South India. Purposive sampling of NGO’s multidisciplinary rehabilitation professionals (N=62) was used. The survey was developed based on WHO’s Assistive Products List (APL). Barriers and facilitators were classified according to the principles of AT access. Analyses revealed acceptability, affordability, and availability as the top three barrier themes across disciplines, including poor acceptance by clients/families due to stigma, high AP costs, and a long waitlist for government-provided devices. Acceptability, affordability, and accessibility were the top three facilitator themes, including community awareness, availability of AP funding, client/family education, and AT service provision training.Impact: Our study identified key enabling strategies for AT access, aimed at reducing reported barriers. Enabling AP provision was determined to be multi-factorial, aimed at users/ families, service providers, organizations, communities, and policymakers. Local stakeholder groups are crucial to understanding challenges and opportunities to AP provision within a low-resource context.

The existence of judgeʼs authority norm in preliminary review as an embodiment of the principle of immediate procedures in civil procedure law

A significant issue in the Indonesian legal system is the accessibility to justice in civil proceedings. This problem primarily arises from the rigid and time-consuming formal requirements, which hinder many individuals from effectively resolving their cases. Failure to meet these formal prerequisites often leads to case dismissals, ultimately impeding the application of the principle of a fast court process. This study aims to explore the extent of judgeʼs authority in assessing these formal requirements during the preliminary review in Indonesia. It adopts a normative juridical research approach, focusing on legislative and conceptual aspects. Primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources are analysed using various interpretation techniques, including grammatical and systematic interpretations. The findings reveal two contrasting viewpoints: the principle of a passive judge, which views judges as mere court observers without active involvement, and the emerging perspective emphasizing the role of an active judge. The concept of an active judge allows judges to advise plaintiffs on improving their claims if they fail to meet formal requirements, preventing the dismissal of their cases. In administrative and constitutional court proceedings, some mechanisms exist for reviewing and completing claims during the preliminary phase. However, it is essential to note that judges in civil proceedings lack a specific legal basis for providing guidance and recommendations to plaintiffs, and such actions are considered optional rather than obligatory. This lack of concrete implementation of the principles of expediency and access to justice in civil proceedings results in a backlog of cases and numerous cases being dismissed. The results of the study can be used in further regulatory adjustments regarding judgeʼs authority norm for ensuring preliminary review conduct

Accessibility of Justice in the Context of Its Digitalization

The article discusses certain aspects of the implementation of the principle of accessibility of justice in the context of the widespread introduction of informatization and digitalization. Based on the study of the legislative framework, the doctrine of procedural law, the law enforcement activities of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the European Court of Human Rights, the author problem of the impact of digitalization on ensuring accessibility of justice and the right to judicial protection is being investigated. The problems of using information technologies in the course of the administration of justice are highlighted, as well as the issues arising in connection with their use by the parties and the court. The debatable aspects of the use of information technologies in the framework of certain types of legal proceedings are touched upon, in particular, in the context of the practical implementation of the adopted procedural novels, ensuring the equality of participants in legal proceedings, and resorting to simplified procedures for considering and resolving cases. It is noted that the use of digital technologies solely for the purpose of procedural economy and solving organizational issues of courts is unacceptable, as well as their mandatory implementation if it does not ensure the equality of participants in legal proceedings, the real effect of the constitutional right to judicial protection, and also goes against the principle of access to justice. In the context of limited legal regulation, the material and technical base of domestic courts, the author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to preserve the traditional form of administration of justice, paperwork, as well as a deep and comprehensive analysis of the use of implemented technologies through the prism of accessibility of justice and the expansion of normative and real guarantees for the exercise of procedural rights.
