Going along with Electronic Justice
Nearly four years have passed since the move of the biggest arbitration court in Russia. The new court building was one of the first to be adapted to the work in new conditions, when the arbitration court system was only on the verge of implementation of modern information technology. We wrote about it in the March edition of the magazine "LAW" in 2009. How does the Moscow Arbitration Court work nowadays amid electronic justice?

 

Clever Courthouse
One of the courts that has moved recently is the Arbitration Court of the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
