The emergence of new forms of digital technologies in the justice systems has precipitated increasing scholarly interest opening up to a stimulating field of analysis. This review article synthesizes four recent books on justice and digital technologies to evaluate the specific research questions, substantive domains, theoretical approaches, methodologies and thereby provides a better understanding of the topic. Then, it underlines the nature of the digital revolution in the justice sector by outlining successful experiences and specific trends that will characterize the near future. Besides, it observes how the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the need to invest in digital technologies and how they can enhance democratic procedure through improved access to justice.
