REZILIENȚA ELECTRONICĂ ÎN DOMENIUL JUDICIAR: CERINȚĂ A TIMPULUI ȘI EXPRESIE A BUNEI GUVERNĂRI

Abstract

Resilience is defined as the capacity of communities in complex socio- ecological systems to learn, cope, adapt, and transform in the face of shocks and stresses. Our role is to understand how systems support the communities we serve, and to ensure that the poor and vulnerable have options and opportunities to become fully integrated into resilient systems. The COVID-19 crisis has had a significant impact on the legal profession and the judiciary in general. Therefore, the presented paper is oriented on highlighting the critical importance of building resilience in judicial sector, by extending use of videoconferencing. The Study presents potential prospects line agencies can follow to extend the scope of videoconferencing in the justice sector and offers a preliminary assessment of the actions and steps that need to be taken. The papers’s conclusions indicated that videoconference appeared to be an effective tool for organizing court hearings and its scope might be extended to other types of court cases (including civil and contraventional) and/or procedural actions and that might include the institutionalization of local videoconference centers or virtual courtrooms.
