Abstract: The modernization and streamlining of judicial management involves major changes in information technology as well, in agrement with the new type of society that has emerged, the information society. Implementation of information technology in the judicial sector should be treated with due importance and considered as a guarantee that such legal services become more effective and efficient, more transparent and more accessible to citizens. The study aims to examine the progress in the field and the changes in judicial management down with the computerization of courts. It is important to investigate whether computerization creates prerequisites only theoretically, or in practice, there is a growing perception of the litigants towards the transparency and accessibility of the judiciary. Meanwhile, the study aims at identifying other important matters, besides computerization of court, that could influence the accessibility and transparency of judicial services.
