Judicial Efficiency in Times of Artificial Intelligence and Predictable Justice

The essay seeks to establish a theoretical connection between the ideal of judicial efficiency as one of the purposes of civil procedure linked to the best use of scarce resources available in all judicial proceedings. Aware that procedures involve the expenditure of effort, money, expectations, and time, this essay seeks to investigate the use of technological mechanisms, specifically, artificial intelligence at the supreme court level, to determine whether litigation or court proceedings could become more efficient with the use of artificial intelligence for certain tasks. Furthermore, remarks on technology and artificial intelligence ( ai ) shall be drafted to whether affirm or not if this new technology could enhance the production of precedents by means of deep learning, automatization and other legal analytic techniques by replication of cases. The essay concludes proposing specifical techniques or tasks an ai system could perform to enhance some jurisprudential functions of supreme courts, including selecting and producing precedents. To conclude, this contribution shall be represented by a computational model or scheme ( fig.1 ) to be considered and implemented in accordance with ai permitted tasks.
