This paper examines procedural legal relationships related to electronic document management in administrative court proceedings. An analysis of domestic legislation and other sources containing administrative procedural rules of the Russian Federation, as well as research literature, revealed that electronic document management has practical application and is in demand in administrative court proceedings. In examining the use of electronic document management in the administrative and jurisdictional activities of courts, the author considers not only the digital interactions that arise between courts and participants in administrative proceedings but also focuses on internal communications between judicial authorities and their employees. Possible types of electronic document management include interactions between courts within the same system, between individuals serving within the same court, and between courts with different jurisdictions. A study of electronic document management in courts hearing cases under the rules of administrative court procedure notes that, despite its undisputed existence, the judicial system currently lacks a unified framework for regulating and streamlining information (digital) interactions between participating entities. Areas of administrative court proceedings characterized by electronic document management are described. The use of electronic document management systems in courts is examined not only from the perspective of simplifying interactions but also from the perspective of the potential for the emergence of hidden and undesirable elements that complicate the administrative court process.
