The first actions undertaken for the modernisation of the Administration of Justice are already far from the time since in 2009 an ambitious reform was initiated in the Administration of Justice that affected all its areas: structural, functional, personal, and technological. To this end, the regulations governing the New Judicial Office (NOJ) were promulgated, mainly with Act 13/2009, of 3 November, which reforms the procedural legislation for the implementation of the New Judicial Office. In addition, legal reforms were undertaken to adapt the functions and competencies of the personnel at the service of the Administration of Justice to this new design of the Judicial Office. Together with these legal reforms, Act 18/2011, of 5 July, regulating the use of information and communication technologies in the Administration of Justice (LUTICAJ) was enacted. Finally, necessary reforms were undertaken in procedural regulations to adapt them to electronic Justice (e-Justice), which aims to be more modern, efficient, effective, and capable of responding to the requirements that society demands of this public service in the 21st century. We aim at analysing to review the actions of the different Administrations with competences in the matter and of the General Council of the Judiciary, the achievements undoubtedly reached, but also the problems pending solution and the challenges that Justice faces in a more or less immediate future, in which it must continue to implement technological advances without affecting the rights of those who work in it in one way or another and of the general public.
