Introduction: The digital era is reshaping not only technology and economy but also the legal systems governing democratic societies. The rapid emergence of artificial intelligence, big data, and digitisation calls for proactive adaptation of legal frameworks. This article explores the intersection of digital transformation and the rule of law, emphasizing its implications for democratic stability. Methods: The authors used a qualitative approach based on literature review, document analysis, and synthesis of recent academic and policy reports related to digital technologies and their impact on law and governance. Selected case examples illustrate emerging legal issues in digital environments. Results: The study identifies key trends influencing the evolution of law, including AI governance, digital privacy, cybersecurity, e-courts, and legal adaptations to remote work and blockchain technologies. Legal education and digital literacy are also highlighted as crucial areas for strengthening the rule of law. Discussion: Digitalisation brings opportunities to increase legal efficiency and access but also challenges existing legal norms. The authors argue for anticipatory legal reform, interdisciplinary cooperation, and stronger international frameworks to respond effectively to emerging digital risks and opportunities. Limitations: The paper primarily focuses on European contexts and emerging trends rather than providing empirical data or cross-regional comparisons. Future research could broaden the scope to include diverse legal systems globally. Conclusions: Digital transformation significantly influences democratic institutions and legal systems. Strengthening the rule of law requires adaptive legislation, digital competence among legal professionals, and mechanisms to uphold rights and ethics in technologically driven societies.
