Electronic litigation, as an innovative development in the Iranian legal system, has had profound impacts on fundamental principles of due process, such as the right to access justice, transparency, and the expeditious handling of proceedings. While this transformation offers advantages such as reducing trial delays and facilitating access to judicial services, it also presents challenges including the protection of privacy, equitable access to technology, and system security. In order to fully harness the benefits of electronic litigation, it is essential to uphold foundational principles of due process such as the observance of the right to defense, the public nature of trials, and the right to access evidence. This necessitates close cooperation among judicial institutions, legislators, and information technology experts. Additionally, essential measures for achieving fair and effective electronic litigation include training judges and judicial personnel on electronic evidence and cybercrimes, improving technical infrastructure, and promoting public awareness and cultural readiness.
