Overview
This area explores how technology may help people find legal information and navigate legal processes — and the risks that need careful attention.
Background
Courts and service providers increasingly use online filing, remote hearings, guided interviews, and automated documents. Artificial intelligence tools raise new questions about accuracy, accountability, accessibility, and the line between legal information and legal advice.
Key questions
- Which digital tools help self-represented people, and how is their effectiveness measured?
- How can court technology be made accessible to people with disabilities and limited internet access?
- What safeguards are needed when AI tools are used in legal contexts?
- How do regulations affect who may build and offer legal technology?
