Introduction: we have created an information technology support program, named ‘Laser-IP-GPK-2020’, designed to provide assistance in making reasoned court decisions according to the rules of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation in ordinary proceedings. With the help of this program, we demonstrate in the paper the complexity of the law enforcement process for a person and the assistance that software can provide to overcome this complexity. The paper shows the subject area of the information system created by us, outlines the ways of further enhancement of software intended to facilitate law enforcement, and challenges the myths about the robot judge. Purpose: to determine the possible types of software to be developed in accordance with the types of law enforcement operations, provided that the discretion function remains with law enforcement officers; to determine the directions of the formalization of law enforcement operations and the possibilities of gradual transfer of some of them to artificial intelligence. Methods: the universal dialectical-materialistic method, employed when converting the law enforcement process into the language of information technology; analysis and synthesis of the law enforcement process, the formal-legal method – for converting the requirements of law and legal science to law enforcement into software commands for the judge and the parties to the case; the object-oriented approach to modeling; the object-oriented programming methodology, a relational approach to database design. Results: the ‘Laser-IP-GPK-2020’ computer program contains a sequence of law enforcement operations and rules for their execution, the multiplicity and complexity of which exceeds the capabilities of most law enforcement officers. This program is designed to prevent law enforcement errors resulting from the limited human capabilities with regard to retaining knowledge of the multitude of rules of law enforcement operations, and to obviate the expenditure of time required for each individual judge to solely produce a reasoned decision in a case. Conclusion: the selection and development of particular IT solutions to be applied in law enforcement practice when solving legal cases are determined by the analysis of the law enforcement process, which is the subject area of the program.
