On 20 November, the European Commission presented the Digital Justice package 2030, an initiative to modernise justice systems across the EU and ensure that justice professionals are equipped with tools fit for the digital age. This strategic roadmap aims to accelerate the digitalisation of justice systems across the EU, empowering citizens, businesses, and justice professionals through innovation and cross-border collaboration.
The Digital Justice package includes the DigitalJustice@2030 Strategy and the European Judicial Training Strategy 2025–2030. Together, these strategies will drive the digital transformation of justice systems, leveraging cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve access to justice for all.
Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security, and Democracy, said: “Digitalisation and artificial intelligence are transforming our societies, including the justice system. With the Digital Justice Package 2030, we are modernising Europe’s justice systems, contributing to the competitiveness of our economy while ensuring that technology serves people, keeping justice open, accessible, and based in our values.”
Michael McGrath, Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law, and Consumer Protection, said: “With this Package, we are helping Member States take a confident step into the digital era — ensuring that our justice systems become faster, more accessible, and more efficient. This is not only an investment in justice, but also in Europe’s competitiveness. The upcoming Judicial Training Strategy will equip judges, prosecutors, and legal professionals with the digital and AI skills needed to use technology effectively. By embracing innovation, we are building a justice system that is prepared for the challenges of tomorrow — fair, modern, and firmly anchored in our democratic values.”
