As a developing country, Nigeria has benefited immensely from the advancement of digital technology, especially in the legal field. This is due to the fact that modern digital technologies are being rapidly adopted in Nigeria's judicial processes for effective justice administration. However, despite the promise of digital technology, there are legal and socioeconomic challenges in Nigeria that may affect its successful utilization in legal proceedings. This justifies the focus of the study - to identify the legal and socio-economic challenges of digitalization of court proceedings in Nigeria.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>Methods: the study combines doctrinal and non-doctrinal approaches. The former ensures theoretical understanding of the conceptual issues and prospects of court proceedings virtualization. It also allows exploring, based on primary and secondary sources (laws, monographs, research articles and internet resources), the legal and socio-economic challenges of the use of digital technologies in court proceedings. The non-doctrinal approach consists in polling, describing and analyzing the results of a sociological survey. The survey was conducted among Nigeria residents to reveal their attitudes towards innovations in digitalization and virtualization of court proceedings as well as the challenges posed by these processes.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results: the study revealed that the use of digital technologies in court proceedings in Nigeria has several prospects of ensuring effective justice administration and accurate recording and storage of information. Along with the benefits, challenges are shown that may reduce the effectiveness of court proceedings digitalization.</p></sec><sec><title>Scientific novelty</title><p>Scientific novelty: consists in investigating the use of digital technology in Nigerian court proceedings and identifying the prospects of improving the efficiency of justice administration in Nigeria under digitalization, as well as the challenges arising from this trend.</p></sec><sec><title>Practical significance</title><p>Practical significance: the study will enable stakeholders in the Nigerian legal sector to identify legal and socio-economic challenges that may adversely affect and render ineffective the use of digital technologies in legal proceedings. In addition, the article offers practical recommendations to address these challenges.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель: традиционная нигерийская судебная система долгое время ассоциировалась с ее консервативным подходом и традиционными методологиями отправления правосудия. В результате развития цифровых технологий Нигерия как развивающаяся страна получила огромные преимущества, особенно в правовой сфере. Это связано с тем, что для эффективного отправления правосудия в судопроизводство Нигерии стремительно внедряются современные цифровые технологии. Однако, несмотря на перспективы развития цифровых технологий, в Нигерии существуют правовые и социально-экономические проблемы, которые могут повлиять на успешное их использование в судопроизводстве. Этим обосновывается нацеленность исследования на выявление правовых и социально-экономических проблем цифровизации судопроизводства в Нигерии.</p></sec><sec><title>Методы</title><p>Методы: исследование сочетает в себе доктринальный и недоктринальный подходы. Первый позволяет теоретически осмыслить концептуальные вопросы и перспективы развития виртуализации судопроизводства, изучить на основе первичных и вторичных источников (законов, монографий, научных статей и интернет-ресурсов) правовые и социально-экономические проблемы использования цифровых технологий в судопроизводстве. Второй направлен на анкетирование, описание и анализ результатов социологического опроса, проведенного среди респондентов, проживающих в Нигерии, на предмет их отношения к нововведениям в области цифровизации и виртуализации судопроизводства, а также к возникающим в связи с цифровизацией проблемам.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты: исследование показало, что использование цифровых технологий в судопроизводстве Нигерии имеет ряд перспектив, обеспечивающих эффективное отправление правосудия и обеспечение точного учета и хранения данных о судебных заседаниях. Наряду с преимуществами показаны проблемы, которые могут повлиять на эффективность цифровизации судопроизводства.</p></sec><sec><title>Научная новизна</title><p>Научная новизна: заключается в исследовании использования цифровых технологий в судопроизводстве Нигерии, в выявлении перспективы повышения эффективности отправления нигерийского правосудия в условиях развития цифровых технологий, а также в обусловленных этой тенденцией проблем.</p></sec><sec><title>Практическая значимость</title><p>Практическая значимость: исследование позволит заинтересованным сторонам нигерийского юридического сектора выявить правовые и социально-экономические проблемы, которые могут негативно повлиять на использование цифровых технологий в судопроизводстве и сделать их неэффективными. Кроме того, в статье предлагаются конкретные (практические) рекомендации по устранению этих проблем.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>виртуализация судопроизводства</kwd><kwd>онлайн-разрешение споров</kwd><kwd>онлайн-судопроизводство</kwd><kwd>отправление правосудия</kwd><kwd>право</kwd><kwd>суд</kwd><kwd>цифровая платформа</kwd><kwd>цифровые технологии</kwd><kwd>электронное делопроизводство</kwd><kwd>электронное правосудие</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>administration of justice</kwd><kwd>court</kwd><kwd>digital platform</kwd><kwd>digital technologies</kwd><kwd>electronic justice</kwd><kwd>electronic record keeping</kwd><kwd>law</kwd><kwd>online court proceedings</kwd><kwd>online dispute management</kwd><kwd>virtualization of court proceedings</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Bailenson, J.
