The problem

Without access-to-justice chatbots & legal-aid triage, judiciary spend their time on the routine and administrative side of the work, working through case files, filings, judgments, court schedules, statutes by hand, and the people they serve feel the delay and the inconsistency.

How it works

Access-to-justice chatbots & legal-aid triage - Chatbots guide citizens on procedures, forms and eligibility. It draws on case files, filings, judgments, court schedules, statutes and is typically owned by judiciary. Where the human comes in: judiciary review and approve before any action affects a person, a payment or a case; the AI flags, ranks and drafts. It is at pilot stage, with documented pilots or single deployments; examples include Portugal; Singapore.
