Key aspects of information and legal support are analyzed in detail, such as ensuring timely access to up-to-date legal information, providing analytical support for processinglarge volumes of evidence and documents, protecting confidentiality and personal data, automating routine document operations, and ensuring open access to informationabout the activitiesof courts.The article critically examines the shortcomings of the existing hierarchical decision-making model in the justice system, which is subject to the influence of political interests, bureaucratic inefficiency, and significant delays. The decision-making process at various stages of justice is described in detail: crime prevention, pre-trial investigation, court proceedings, obtaining confessions, sentencing and post-trial decisions, as well as crime detection. The need to develop a unified decision support system for consolidating information flows and providing comprehensive analytical support to participants in legal proceedings is emphasized.
