This pivotal decision marks a significant advancement towards the widespread adoption of electronic signatures and the digital transformation of official documents in Lebanon. The Lebanon E-Courts conference, held on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, was held under the distinguished patronage of His Excellency, the Minister of Justice, Judge Henry El Khoury.

Today marks the commencement of a vital phase in the evolution of justice through digital innovation. The success of this initiative will depend on the collective efforts of judicial organizations, bar associations, and the high standards established by public-private partnerships, including legal technology providers. A unified and collaborative approach among all stakeholders is crucial for the effective realization of this groundbreaking vision.
