Portuguese judicial system modernization process can be divided into several dimensions. Considering the key actors’ speeches, placed at the level of the judicial system reforms’ implementation, the paper explores the main spheres that are part of that modernization process. From the analysis of who these key actors are, through the role of the European Union, to the relevance of information and communication technologies and corresponding infocommunicational skills, there are several spheres highlighted. This analysis culminates in the perception of how modernization has been implemented. The interviews applied to eight key actors are analyzed, concluding on the current inevitability of the Portuguese judicial system modernization, a vision enhanced by the 2019 pandemic and by the changes to which the World and the labor market were submitted to. The paper presents the content analysis’ results applied to the interviews.
