Towards a synergetic approach to the dematerialization of court files: protecting the privacy of litigants as a vector for access to justice

The aim of this project is to work with the Ministère de la justice du Québec (MJQ) to develop a framework for managing the personal information contained in digital legal files, and to propose concrete, innovative and technical solutions to the privacy issues raised by the dematerialization of legal files. In so doing, the project intends to encourage access to justice and foster public confidence in the justice system, by ensuring a high level of protection for the privacy rights of individuals involved in the legal process.
