Dear participants, dear friends In the folowing presentation I woud like to show you few findings acording to the use of videocogerefence by Slovenian legal profession.
Agenda for the presentation is: We will discuss legal framework considering use of videoconferencing in court procedures. We will take a look on EU framework and activities and also briefly on Slovenian recent changes of civil and criminal procedure legislation. Some experiences of use of videoconferences gained in the past in Slovenia will be presented. We will present a small research which was conduced among Slovenian legal profession and its results. We will try to conclude presentation with some ideas for the forthcoming project of adopting videoconferences in Slovenian courts.
When we discuss about possibilities of use VC in proceedings there are two legal texts which set the use, especially when two different countries and Member states are willing to perform some parts of the proceeding with the help of VC. In criminal proceeding we can use VC especially for hearing the witnesses or experts. Art. 10 of the Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters between EU Member States, 2000 allows the use. There should not be any obstacles in any of the collaborating countries. In civil proceedings it is possible to use VC especially at taking of evidences, which is covered by Article 10(4) of the Regulation of the European Council No 1206/2001 of 28 May 2001 on cooperation between the courts of the Member States. -------------------- In particular, more use should be made of the possibilities existing under Community legislation, in particular the witness or expert hearings via a videoconference, in accordance with Article 10 of the Convention of 29 May 2000 on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters between the Member States of the European Union1 and taking of evidence via a videoconference as foreseen by Article 10(4) of the Council Regulation (EC) No 1206/2001 of 28 May 2001 on cooperation between the courts of the Member States in the taking of evidence in civil and commercial matters.2 For most EU Member States these conventions and regulations are already applicable (with some reservations made by some Member States, especially concerning the hearing of accused persons by videoconference).3 On 29 May 2000, the EU Council of Ministers adopted the Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters.
Before special legislation changes in Slovenia there were no actual obstacles to use VC in some parts of proceeding, because actual legislation did not oppose to the use. Nevertheless, recent changes of the rules set exact boundaries of use of VC in court proceeding, criminal and civil.

Before we jump into legal framework I’d like to show you a brief scenario of possible use of VC within court procedures. For instance: We have a case with a witness and expert on foreign court. The connection should be established between two courts where on one court is a judge and a translator and on the other site, which is called remote location. Remote location is not meant only for other courthouse, but it can be special Safe location for protected witness or prison, hospital or other institutions. I think there are no obstacles in the future that a layer or other representative of the party could connect into proceeding from his or her office.
Simultaneously we have started a small research at our faculty where we wanted to find out, what are opinions of Slovenian legal profession on the use of VC at court. There are different roles in VC at court and all have to agree to use new technology.
In general our participants were in favour to use videoconferencing in court proceedings. Nevertheless, our opinion is that there should be more analysis done, before entering VC project.
This is a quick scenario of possible implementation of such simulation between SI and AT.
