Key topics
The Digital Justice Monitor examines key issues relating to the digital transformation of the justice system – from various perspectives and with clear recommendations for action.
01 Reducing the workload & improving efficiency
What needs to change so that digitalisation tangibly reduces the workload on the justice system and sustainably enhances its efficiency?
02 AI & The Future of Legal Work
Where are AI and automation already creating real added value, and how are they transforming legal work within the judiciary, the legal profession and businesses?
03 Processes & Organisation
Which structures and processes are holding back digital transformation, and where are the greatest opportunities for more effective processes?
04 Infrastructure & Digital Sovereignty
What technological prerequisites are needed for a modern, secure and future-proof justice system, and what role does the issue of digital sovereignty play in this?
05 Innovation & Collaboration
What is needed to ensure that innovative solutions do not remain at the pilot stage, but are successfully rolled out across the board and put into permanent operation?

Dear partners and interested parties,
The digital transformation of the justice system is gathering pace. But what is the justice system’s stance on the use of artificial intelligence, and how is AI already being utilised in legal work today? What conditions are needed to overcome existing siloed solutions and enable better, cross-level collaboration?
With our Digital Justice Monitor 2026/27, we get to the bottom of these questions. To do so, we examine the digital transformation from four perspectives: the judiciary, the legal profession, the business sector, as well as legal tech, data centres and judicial IT. By comparing their experiences, requirements and assessments, we highlight where there is a shared need for action and what obstacles stand in the way of the successful implementation and scaling of digital solutions.
The findings will feed into the discussions at the 5th Digital Justice Summit on 23 and 24 November 2026 and provide an empirical basis for addressing the question of how the digital transformation of the justice system can be shaped in an effective, sustainable and practice-oriented manner.
We would be delighted if you could contribute your experiences and views to the study, thereby helping to paint as comprehensive a picture as possible of the digital transformation of the justice system.
Kind regards
Helen Rademacher
