Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has put its trademark on the 21st century, not only due to
the impact it had made on the economic, social and justice sectors, barring the overlap
with the digital era. The already developing digitalization process that has started ever
since the early 90’s has faced a major turbulence, with the new virus allowing the experts
to broaden their perspective on how to use technology to the best interest of the collective,
in order to keep the communities safe. This key factor has highlighted that the pandemic
has rather stimulated the development of the digital current, mirroring a symbiotic cau-
se-effect relationship between the two. This being said, digitalization has been appointed
as a pivotal means of governance. The increased contraventions and the ignorance of the
judicial system to the pandemic waves, has reflected the mandatory update of the digital
tools in our era for catalyzing cyber justice.
