El uso de las tecnologías de información y comunicación en la administración de justicia.

Abstract

Background: In recent years, the administration of justice, both in its governing and judicial bodies, has been invaded by information and communication technologies that seek to improve both administrative and judicial management. In the reforms to the procedural rules (COGEP, COIP) information and communication technologies have been included, as tools to improve the system of administration of justice and, at the same time, guarantee the rights of citizens. The objective of this research is to describe the way in which information and communication technologies are related to the administration of justice, especially in relation to access to the information of the electronic files that the users of the system have. Methodology: It is a work with a qualitative approach that seeks to study the consequences of the implementation of ICTs in judicial processes, and the guarantee for the rights that this represents. Conduct interviews with judges and lawyers to establish the status of legal practice. The results, based on empirical methods, show that the actors of the justice administration system see the implementation of ICTs with a good face, although they consider that their implementation can be improved for a more comprehensive guarantee of rights. The work concludes that it is necessary to establish a user authentication system so that they can access the electronic files, and improve the levels of transparency of the judicial servers, and the technical defense work of the lawyers.
