Legal Informatics, Electronic Justice Systems, and Information Security
What the exam tests
This domain tests electronic justice systems, electronic documents, digital signatures, personal data protection and information security duties of judges and court staff.
Core rules
- Kazakhstan's courts use electronic justice systems, including the electronic court proceedings system, the court's personal cabinet and the e-government portal for filing and tracking documents.
- An electronic document has legal force if it meets the Law on Informatisation requirements, including a valid electronic digital signature (EDS).
- Personal data is protected by the Law on Personal Data and its protection is a constitutional right; court staff must not disclose case data outside authorised access.
- Information security requires access control, protection of official secrets, secure storage of electronic case files and prevention of unauthorised access.
- Procedural codes allow electronic claims, notices and hearings where technically possible, but procedural safeguards remain.
Worked example
A lawyer files a claim through the electronic system without a valid EDS. The court registers the document but later returns it because the electronic signature cannot be verified. The lawyer must refile with a valid EDS; the date of the original invalid filing does not preserve the limitation period.
Traps
- Assuming an unsigned electronic copy equals a signed original.
- Sharing case data on personal devices or unsecured channels.
- Missing deadlines because of technical errors without requesting restoration.
