The justice system in Germany is facing the major challenge of far-reaching digitalization. Download forms in pdf format no longer help. Work processes need to be rethought, justice ministries at federal and state level need to create the conditions and courts and authorities need the infrastructure to completely transform the industry. The justice system is under pressure to digitize. To mark the occasion, visionaries and trendsetters are meeting at the 1st Digital Justice Summit in Berlin to discuss how to modernize the justice system together.

Brigitte Zypries (former Federal Minister of Justice) has been won as Congress President. The keynote speech will be given by the current Federal Minister of Justice, Dr. Marco Buschmann. These and other guests emphasize the importance of the event.

Westernacher Solutions will support the program on the topic “electronic legal transactions – the foundation of the digital constitutional state from an IT perspective” . Our Managing Director Dr. Heiko Pfeffer-Orth explains the strategic importance for all parties involved, as well as the technical consequences of requirements and a common understanding of ERV.

In the discussion “Learning from the “techies”? An exchange of experiences between the administration of justice and the digital economy” we will look forward to exchanging ideas with representatives from the judiciary and the German Startups Association.

The conference will also focus on artificial intelligence in the justice sector. To this end, the ethical and moral aspects are examined on the one hand and the necessary technical transformations, e.g. for mass processes, are discussed on the other. How can technology help judges in a meaningful way? What is the right algorithm for artificial intelligence in the justice system?

At our stand (A017), we will be demonstrating the potential use of AI for the justice system using practical examples. Find out from our experts about future application possibilities in the administration of justice.
