The SARS-COV2 Pandemic represents a challenge for the Romanian justice system. The traditional approach, where all parties are summoned physically in the court room – and even at the same time –is not sustainable any longer. New procedural rules are necessary. Different hours for different cases is already a reality in many courts and it should become the day-to-day rule.

At the same time, Romania should begin the lengthy process of implementing the electronic file.
