THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE

OF THE REPUBLIC OF

ESTONIA

DEAR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

I am addressing you in my capacity as a member of the Supreme Judicial

Council of the Republic of Bulgaria and Deputy Chairperson of the Commission

"Professional Qualification and Information Technologies" of the Plenum of the

Supreme Judicial Council.

In connection with the challenges, related to the introduction of digital

services and the use of artificial intelligence and other technological innovations

the judicial systems in Europe are facing, we are in the process of studying good

practices among some of the Member States of the European Union. After

reviewing the presentation of your representative at the expert conference on

"Enhancing European Legal Competitiveness - AI and Advanced Technologies

for Better Justice and Legislation", held in Budapest, Hungary, on November 4-

5, 2024, I find that the experience of Estonia in this area is of interest to the

justice system in Bulgaria.

In this regard, I would like to kindly ask you to provide us with the

adopted "Plan for the Development of the Judicial System and the Processes

therein", in the part concerning all forms of digitalization and the introduction of

artificial intelligence in the judicial process, including data anonymization,

introduction of a ChatBot, finding similar cases, etc.

In addition, we would highly appreciate if you could also provide us with

the technical specifications or other technical characteristics of the AI or

technologies for better justice you use.

Please send the requested information, as soon as possible, by e-mail to

the following addresses: [email protected] and [email protected] .

I am looking forward to your response. Thank you in advance for your

time and efforts.

YOURS SINCERELY,

DANIELA MARCHEVA
