The Digital Justice Working Group (DJWG) is a dynamic, hands-on community that brings together technology and justice experts to advance digital transformation in justice systems. Co-chaired by Spain and Morocco, with the secretariat at The World Bank, members of the DJWG represent over 50 organizations worldwide, spanning ministries of justice and judiciaries, development partners, civil society, academia, and the private sector.
The DJWG includes representatives from governments and judiciary systems across countries such as Armenia, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, Kenya, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, and Tanzania. It also features members from leading international and academic institutions, including Berkeley Law School, the Council of Europe, Duke Law School, HiiL, IDLO, the Lady Justice Initiative, OECD, Stanford Law School, UNDP, UNESCO, the Universities of Malaga and Granada (Spain), the University of the Philippines, and the World Justice Project.
As a collaborative platform, the Working Group facilitates the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and experiences on adopting innovative digital practices in the justice sector. Rather than hosting one-off panels, it fosters sustained engagement through regular meetings, where participants share innovative initiatives and pilots, discuss challenges, and engage in peer learning. Topics discussed include, among others, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in justice systems, innovative tools to enhance access to justice, or the challenges and opportunities to enhance digital case management systems. Through ongoing interaction and collaboration, this community supports the effective adoption of digital technologies in justice systems around the world.
