With contributions from over seventy academics, judges, and other professionals from more than twenty-five countries, it offers an interdisciplinary and cross-jurisdictional perspective on how judicial institutions are responding to the opportunities and risks posed by AI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovering judicial use of AI across domestic and regional jurisdictions in Europe, North and South America, Asia-Pacific and Africa, the Handbook begins from the premise that introducing AI into courts is not merely a technical upgrade but a constitutional reckoning and a fresh call for judicial accountability. Each chapter examines not just what AI can do for courts, but what courts must do to ensure that AI tools enhance, rather than erode, judicial values, justice, and the rule of law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst global comparative volume dedicated specifically to AI and digital technologies in courts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContributions from over 70 academics, judges, and practitioners across more than 25 countries\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombines doctrinal, comparative, and interdisciplinary perspectives on judicial AI\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive-part structure moving from foundational debates to disciplinary perspectives, judicial values, regional case studies, and forward-looking conclusions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the Cambridge Law Handbooks series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart I – AI and Courts: Context and Normative Positions (challenges and opportunities, the history of AI in courts, limits on legal automation, the rule of AI and the rule of law, AI in the judiciary, and anticipatory governance)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart II – AI and Courts: Disciplinary Perspectives (judicial functions, AI-generated evidence in criminal courtrooms, administrative law, criminal courts and sentencing algorithms, and public perceptions of judicial AI)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart III – AI and Tech Challenges to Judicial Values (judicial transparency, independence, and impartiality)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart IV – AI in Courts across the Globe (regional and national case studies spanning Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Africa)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart V – Conclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonika Zalnieriute is a researcher at the Law Institute of the Lithuanian Centre for Social Sciences.
