Digital Revolution: Berlin dishes are introducing EAKTE - a milestone!

This week an important milestone for the Berlin judiciary was reached: the hundred thousands of electronic acts (eakte) was introduced in the civil courts. This development is part of the comprehensive digital change, which is already implemented in the civil courts, including the Chamber Court and various district courts such as Kreuzberg and Köpenick. In the coming year, the eaks are now also to be incorporated into the criminal courts in Berlin, which further accelerates the transition to the digital handling of legal proceedings, such as berlin.de reported.

The Berlin senator for Justice, Dr. Felor Badenberg, emphasized the importance of digital filing: "The electronic acts make it easier for citizens access to the courts." It also forms a basis for the use of artificial intelligence in the judiciary, which increases the attractiveness of the Berlin location. Dr. Svenja Schröder-Lomb, Vice President of the Chamber Court, emphasized that the success of the eaks is an advanced step and that the challenges must be addressed especially with regard to the criminal courts, but the way to digital file is irreversible.

expansion of the eakte in the judiciary

In addition to the successful introduction of the first eaks, the head of the Senate of the Senate Department for Justice, State Secretary Saraya Gomis, has outlined the goal that all process files are only managed electronically by January 1, 2026. This year, further pilot projects for expanding the use of the EAKTE in the district court of Neukölln and in the Berlin District Court are planned. The complete transition to electronic acts for civil and family matters should be completed by the middle of next year and are also used in criminal matters. Anwaltsblatt Berlin reported on the ongoing efforts to make the use of the digital acts in the Berlin judiciary faster and to make it easier for the citizens to access the judiciary.

With the introduction of the eaks, not only the digitization process is advanced, but also the equipment of the judicial workers is further improved in order to offer the legal seekers to offer modern access. This pursues the goal of making the judicial system in Berlin future -proof and user -friendly.
