Abstract

Recent technological developments have forced courts to integrate digital technologies into their daily work. The growing use of AI in justice has reignited discussions around courts’ preparedness, the perks and potential disruptions of such technologies. This panel invites paper submissions exploring the uses and associated perks, pitfalls, and challenges of the use of digital technologies in justice, including the questions of (dis)trust in “robot judges”.
