2nd Digital Justice Summit: Working together to modernise Germany’s justice system – in Berlin this November
Following a successful launch last year, we are delighted to continue and expand on the Digital Justice Summit this year. The second Digital Justice Summit will take place on 29 and 30 November 2023 at the Hotel de Rome in Berlin. The first summit was opened by the Federal Minister of Justice, Dr Marco Buschmann, and this year will once again feature a number of distinguished guests – ranging from the summit’s president and former Federal Minister Brigitte Zypries to the Bavarian Minister of State for Justice, Georg Eisenreich, and Martin Hackl, the CDO of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Justice, and State Secretary Dr Angelika Schlunck.
Due to ongoing digitalisation, existing structures and processes within the legal system must be constantly scrutinised in order to tackle increasingly complex tasks together. Under the motto ‘Working together to modernise Germany’s justice system!’, the forum offers a cross-level platform that supports the transformation processes within the judiciary – including European developments – and connects the various institutions and stakeholders.
Discussions will focus on current developments and key challenges in the following areas: governance of digital transformation, justice that meets people’s everyday needs, an ecosystem for digital innovation, and the market & the State.
Inspiration will be drawn from proven best-practice projects within the judiciary; their successes will be discussed in practical dialogue with experts, and visionary solutions will be highlighted. These key themes will guide the event:
- Conference opening: Progress or stagnation? A debate on a new governance model for digital transformation
- Is the judiciary falling behind in the digital society? Germany’s (necessary) strategy for a modern judiciary in 2030!
- Young & innovative companies present solutions for the judiciary of tomorrow (start-up pitches)
- The Justice Cloud is coming! What new operating models mean for the future of the judiciary’s IT landscape.
- Is Germany on the way to online courts? Current situations, perspectives and potential
- A look around the world – what can we learn from other countries?
- Legal Design as an agile process for innovation in the judiciary: How can change processes be continuously tailored to meet needs?
- ChatGPT & Co. – How artificial intelligence will change the world (of the judiciary)
- The digital master document as a building block for the civil proceedings of the future
- ‘New Work’ in the judiciary: A digital revolution driven by AI and future technologies?
- Storage and archiving of digital files – centralised digital interim archiving or an on-site solution with EGVP transmission to the archives
- Mediation platforms – what can the judiciary learn from the tech sector?
The conference will conclude with a debate on ‘The Future of Civil Justice’, looking ahead to 2024. This is already the second event of its kind. Last year, more than 220 people took part – with a very positive response. Some impressions from the previous forum are documented at VdZ.org and can be found in the video of the 1st Digital Justice Summit.
This year, the organisers are expecting over 300 participants from all areas of the justice system. The event is supported by partners such as IBM, the German Federal Bar Association, TalentRocket GmbH, Materna Information & Communications SE and many more.
