Judiciary In Technological Paradigm: An

Abstract

The technology continues to change the way of living of mankind. The impact area of technology includes the workplace as well wherein human functions. There are predictions that many aspects of human activity will be totally replaced or dependent upon newer technologies. Whilst many human activities have changed over time as a result of human advancement, however some human functions remained relatively undisturbed. Now technological changes are likely to have a broader impact on such areas. In this regard, technology has started changing the practice of law and is likely to reshape the process of judging by replacing, supporting or supplementing the judicial role. Such changes may limit the human engagement in judging with the increasing emphasis on Artificial Intelligence to deal with smaller civil disputes and also the more routine use of related technologies in more complex disputes. The use of technology may prove be a boon in future to the Indian Judiciary which is facing a problem of huge backlog of cases at all levels of Courts affecting the administration of Justice.
