Due to the Covid-19 pandemic it was decided to organise a series of online seminars on Digital Justice.

The first seminar took place on 11 December 2020 and aimed to clarify the differences between data collections, data use, algorithms, machine learning and artificial intelligence. 

The second seminar took place on 26 February 2021 and dealt with publication of court decisions, anonymisation, machine.anonymisation and GDPR. 

On 29 March 2019 the ENCJ Digital Justice Forum gathered in Lisbon for its annual meeting. The meeting had two main topics; Artificial Intelligence and Developing Digital Justice Instruments. CEPEJ presented the European Ethical Charter on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in judicial systems and their environment. In the afternoon break-out sessions were organised to discuss the main themes and discuss how judiciaries could be affected by developments.

On 31st March the ENCJ organised a Digital Justice Seminar in the District Court of Amsterdam. The aim of the meeting was to identify the role and position of Councils and/or the Judiciaries in the Digital Justice Age. In many countries the judiciaries are not, or not sufficiently involved in the development of new e-justice applications. Participants will explore what the position of the judiciary is, or should be, in the whole digitisation process. The seminar also served to identify the ENCJ Strategy in this field. 

The programme was organised around discussions on 4 themes:

1. Access to Justice in a Digital Age - presentation Merit Kolvart, Ministry of Justice Estonia
2. Big Data - presentation Bart van der Sloot, Tilburg University
3. IT systems: from being supportive to running the system
4. European e-Justice Strategy

Report with findings and conclusions of the seminar.

The working group focused its activities on channeling the needs of European judges towards the initiatives taken in the European Union in the area of e-justice. To that end they followed various European actions ans instruments which are listed in the report on e-Justice 2008-2009.
