On Wednesday, the LegalTech Lab (Innovation Team C2) of the Just Transition Center (JTC) welcomed representatives of the legal department of the IT service provider Dataport.
As the central IT partner for public administration in northern Germany and one of the most important drivers of digital transformation in the justice system and public administration, Dataport offered exciting insights into current developments.
The meeting focused on two shared goals: exchanging information on ongoing justice-digitization projects and identifying potential perspectives for future collaboration.
Dataport provided an overview of its activities in the justice sector, including around 140 specialized procedures and several forward-looking projects—among them the Evidence Cloud, the planned Federal Justice Cloud, AI-supported transcription solutions, and approaches to digitizing incoming mail at local courts.
The LegalTech Lab, in turn, presented its ongoing research projects. These include the development of digital strategies for enforcement proceedings, the guidelines generator, and the maintenance calculator for shared custody arrangements, which is currently in development.
The dialogue revealed concrete points of connection for the future, including:
- Reviewing existing specialized procedures for optimization potential
- Joint identification of new digitization projects
- Exchange with the Ministry of Justice regarding structural challenges
- Closer cooperation on data mapping
- The idea of a joint trip to TalTech University
The meeting highlighted how crucial the close interplay between administration, technology, and academia is for modernizing the justice system. The LegalTech Lab of the JTC therefore looks forward with confidence to continued dialogue and the opportunities for joint initiatives.
