Conclusions 
To transfer the work of the SJA to a proactive 
mode of innovation, we propose the following amend-
ments to the Law of Ukraine “On the Judiciary and the 
Status of Judges”: 
1. Paragraph 8 of Part 1 of Article 152 of the Law 
shall be worded as follows: 
“8) regularly conducts an audit of the state of tech-
nical and technological support of the judiciary; devel-
ops and implements innovations in the field of judicial 
administration, in particular, organizes computerization 
of courts for judicial proceedings, record keeping, in-
formation and regulatory support of the judicial activity 
and ensuring the functioning of the Unified Judicial In-
formation (automated) system, develops proposals for 
innovation in the functioning of the system the judici-
ary; ensures the introduction of an electronic court; pro-
vides courts with the latest technical and information-
technological means of record-keeping, communica-
tion, recording of court proceedings, videoconferenc-
ing for the participation of persons in court proceedings 
by videoconference and other means necessary to in-
crease the efficiency of court work based on cost opti-
mization and priority to administer full and independ-
ent justice, support them and update them promptly”; 
2. From item 9 of part 1 of Article 152 of the Law 
to delete the following words: “provides an introduc-
tion of the electronic court”; from item 10 of part 1 of 
article 152 of the Law to delete the following words: 
“provides functioning of system of videoconferencing 
for the participation of persons in a court session in the 
mode of video conference”. 
Corresponding changes should also be made to the 
SJA Regulations. 
Thanks to these changes, it will be possible to cre-
ate an innovation department in the SJA structure, 
which is in line with the practice of European countries. 
It will be possible to transfer to the sphere of responsi-
bility of the innovation department: 

audit of the state of technical and technologi-
cal support of the judiciary;
