The closing session of the conference brings together the insights gained over the past two days and looks ahead to the next phase of implementation. Digital procedures, automated processes and AI applications open up new possibilities for a more efficient justice system. However, a convincing overall system will only emerge when technical development, legal requirements and practical needs are brought together across organisational and jurisdictional boundaries.

The focus is therefore on collaboration between the judiciary, the legal profession, legal tech and the business sector. Common standards, reliable interfaces and clear responsibilities must enable innovation whilst ensuring traceability, data protection and quality. Particularly where AI and automation prepare or influence decisions, technological progress must not obscure human responsibility.

The plenary session asks:

• What insights can be drawn from the conference for the next phase of the digitalisation of the justice system?
• How can knowledge be shared more effectively, projects rolled out more quickly and siloed solutions avoided?
• What common technical, legal and ethical standards does a digital justice system require?
• And what next steps must the judiciary, the legal profession, legal tech and the business community now tackle together?
