The lawyer and trainee lawyer's mandate form will be able to be drawn up in the form of an electronic document, signed using a qualified electronic signature. This simplifies the procedure for contracting remote legal aid services. The provisions are contained in a draft approved wednesday by the government, IPN reports.
The Justice Ministry says that it is about digitization of quality legal services and brings justice closer to the citizens of the diaspora, who need legal assistance to resolve situations arising on the territory of the Republic of Moldova.
The new regulation will also support the implementation of E-dossier, a platform that automates the process of filing applications in court and distributing materials electronically.
Until the amendment, the lawyer's mandate form was printed on paper with the lawyer's stamp. The draft also provides for the enshrinement in law of the Lawyer's Day, which will be marked annually on september 9.
