E-justice has been under discussion at the European level since 2007 and we are now able to use the first practical tools developed as a result of the roadmap for European e-justice. This two-day seminar will detail the evolutionary European framework, roadmap and action plan, explore the progress of and obstacles to a true European e-justice system, as well as allow participants to use two of the main tools of European e-justice and discuss their relevance to their professional practice. Succinct information on the work currently being done to develop e-justice tools will also be provided.There are many ways to use information technologies at national, European Union and international levels, ranging from accessing information on laws via the internet, to communicating electronically with persons involved in court proceedings. This not only facilitates communication between professionals, but also improves access to justice for citizens, businesses and legal practitioners. However, the use of e-justice tools at the European level requires interoperability between national systems. Users are thus confronted with several obstacles, namely a confusing profusion of sources of information, a partial lack of legal harmonisation, national and technical preferences, and multilingual contexts.
