The e-Justice significantly optimizes the workflow and increases the efficiency of magistrates and court staff.
The main projects developed in the field of e-Justice are:
Court Case Management System
The Court Case Management System (CCMS) is a platform for court case management. The system covers all 151 general courts. CCMS is structured in 21 functional and 19 system modules and is integrated with 15 other information systems of the judiciary as well as a number of state institutions.
CCMS is a court case management information system that integrates the entire electronic court case management process from registration of initiating documents, through case initiation, random distribution of cases, management of hearings, adjudication and disqualification of acts, court statistics, judges' workload and financial management of cases, management of summons activity, including through a mobile application for the summons officers. For citizens, the system provides the opportunity for easier access to justice, equal access to information for all parties in the cases, saving time and money and obtaining up-to-date information. One of the significant benefits of the CCMS is the real-time access to an electronic case folder and the ability to remotely access information about cases, procedural actions taken and the results of those actions. As a web-based information system, the CCMS ensures optimized and reliable electronic case management with the necessary information security to protect the information processed and exchanged by the judicial authorities, as well as the protection of citizens' personal data.
Module for Centralized Distribution and Electronic Processing of Order-for-Payment Cases
Information Services developed a new module for the centralized distribution and electronic processing of order-for-payment cases, integrated with the Single e-Justice Portal (SEJP). The project belongs to the Supreme Judicial Council and is funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. Since July 1, 2025, the module has fully digitized order-for-payment proceedings — from electronic filing of applications, through centralized distribution among courts, to case initiation and electronic review of order-for-payment cases. Judges receive notifications on case progress, and once an order is issued, an electronic writ of execution is immediately generated, protected by an access code to the electronic account accessible through SEJP, through which payments from debtors are tracked.
As a result, the handling of order-for-payment cases has been sped up several times over compared to previous practice, while also ensuring full traceability and transparency in the collection of amounts under issued writs of execution.
To date, the project marks a fundamental breakthrough in the digitization of Bulgarian justice, increasing transparency, efficiency, and access to court services for citizens and businesses.
Court Mediation Module within CCMS
Since December 1, 2025, a completely new court mediation module has been operating within CCMS, used by all courts and covering the entire court mediation process. The module ensures comprehensive digitization and automation of the court mediation process and is designed to facilitate communication among all participants in the mediation process and to increase the efficiency of the judiciary through the implementation of modern technological solutions that optimize the management of mediation procedures and ensure transparency throughout the process. The processes within the system cover all stages of mediation, from the initial identification of cases suitable for mediation to the final documentation of the results of the procedures conducted. The module maintains comprehensive information on all mediation centers registered in the system, including data on the coordinators at each center as well as all mediators involved in the process. This provides centralized access to up-to-date information on available resources and specialists in the field of mediation, which in turn facilitates the process of referring cases to suitable mediators with the necessary qualifications and experience.
Single e-Justice Portal (Electronic Court Cases)
The Single e-Justice Portal (SEJP) gathers all the e-services related to the justice system such as electronic court cases, deeds, submitting applications under Article 410 of the Civil Procedure Code, electronic criminal records, register of appeals, etc. The portal provides the opportunity for online registration of users, creation and management of profiles of legal entities, electronic request for access to cases, new electronic services for initiating court proceedings, submission of documents in cases and electronic payments through a virtual POS terminal, as well as viewing of the electronic accounts of writs of execution. The main objective of the project is to improve the access of citizens and businesses to e-justice by creating conditions for carrying out procedural actions in electronic form, electronic summons and electronic payment.
Mobile Application eCase
The application developed by Information Services provides any user with a registered account an access to the all-court free public access cases, to cases with personal participation, review of all attached electronic documents, handing of electronic court documents, etc. It significantly increases the efficiency of the justice sector and facilitates access to justice for citizens and businesses.
Single Public Register of Recusals
The Single Public Register of Recusals (SPRR), created as a tool to fight corruption in the judiciary, is an internet accessible register where information is published on the court acts containing the court's ruling on the recusals requested by the parties to the cases and the reasons by which they were granted or not, as well as the court acts containing the recusals on the court's own initiative (self-recusals).
Specialized Information System for Monitoring and Analysis
The Specialized Information System for Monitoring and Analysis (SISMA) is developed as a centralized web-based information system for automated collection and processing of statistical data from the judiciary – data exchange with the CCMS and the Unified Filing Information System (UFIS) of the Administrative courts, the Unified Information System (UIS) of the Prosecutor's Office of Republic of Bulgaria, the Unified Information System for Combating Crime (UISCC) and the Centralized Information System of the Investigation Services (CISIS), as well as systems of the National Statistical Institute.
Single Register of Jurors
The Single Register of Jurors (SRJ) is a public register, accessible via internet, where information on jurors is published. Through the public part of the register it is possible to publicly monitor the functions performed by the jurors and their involvement in court processes. The SRJ contains information about jurors, their specialties, the term for which they were selected, and participation in court cases.
Single Register of Court Interpreters and Translators
The Single Register of Court Interpreters and Translators (SRCIT) is a key tool for ensuring quality court translations and protecting citizens' rights in legal proceedings. Inclusion in the register follows a strict selection process that guarantees the professional qualifications and competence of the translators. This ensures precision and accuracy in the translation of legal documents, which is essential to the outcome of court cases at all levels. The register guarantees citizens' access to reliable translation services at all court levels in the country and supports legal certainty when carrying out legal actions in a foreign language.
Monitoring and Management of Information and Communication Infrastructure
In 2025, a new project was launched for the judicial system in the field of IT resource management and cybersecurity, whose main goal is to carry out comprehensive monitoring and management of the information and communication infrastructure and to carry out activities related to the cybersecurity of the Supreme Judicial Council and the courts excluding the administrative courts and the Supreme Administrative Court such as security assessment and management services, vulnerability remediation, information protection, incident response, monitoring, and post-incident recovery.
This project provides a systematic approach that builds upon the activities and investments made in building and maintaining information systems within the judicial system, thereby ensuring the sustainability, security, and reliability of e-justice in Bulgaria.
Information Services' projects in the field of e-justice are recipients of prestigious national and international awards.
