Justice matters for social and economic development, as effective justice improves access to public services (particularly for the poor), curbs corruption and abuse of power, enhances public trust in the government, and fosters a healthy business environment. Digital technologies can dramatically improve the performance of justice systems and deliver better services for citizens.
