Technology, a key element for access to criminal and alternative justice in post-pandemic times

The pandemic generated by the sars-CoV2 virus showed us the weaknesses we have at all levels, from the personal level to the various responses of the countries. In most cases, it showed us the deficiencies in the health and social security system; in others, the delay in the use of electronic media in the administration of justice was very visible. The public perception is that the administration of justice in Mexico is very slow. Faced with a pandemic that forced us to close the courts, we found ourselves with an insufficient use of electronic media for this purpose and with intra and inter-departmental communication still on paper. This revealed to us the need to implement technology urgently, because if the administration of justice cannot stop, even less so in the criminal field and in the application of alternative mechanisms, which are the first option to try to resolve conflicts. In the state of Jalisco, there was a reaction and actions were taken to implement the use of technology in the criminal process and alternative mechanisms; however, even more must be done to be prepared for any future eventuality.
