CHANGES OF CONFIDENTIALITY DUTY IN THE DIGITAL LEGAL ERA

Original language description

The article deals with the phenomenon of the third millennium, which is the onset of generalised digitalisation in the public and private spheres. The provision of legal services by the state or private persons, legal advisors, is not an exception. The use of social networks, the automated creation of contracts, blockchains, cloud repositories, virtual databases and various online conference platforms touch on the natural subtlety of the state administration, legal representatives and their relationship with clients. The paper examines the core of professional duties in legal services: the duty of confidentiality. The paper compares two types of confidentiality duty. The first one is the confidentiality duty of state officers, including judges. The second one is the attorney's professional duty. The paper highlights standard and general requirements for all professionals. Based on the author's experience as an attorney and university law teacher, the paper points out the risks and benefits of digitalisation in maintaining confidentiality obligations. The paper argues that digital legal services and justice are an inevitable need for the new era of digitalisation. The paper concludes with proposals to comply with the requirements for protecting social and private interests when delivering digital legal services. The author uses the method of desk research and analysis of documents and practical examples.
