With the judiciary piloting the opening of a trial-support artificial intelligence system (AI), judges can now search legal information and use it in trials by conversing with the Generative AI. The National Court Administration said it is providing the service through the judiciary’s own platform, not an external Generative AI or large language model (LLM).
According to legal sources on the 18th, the National Court Administration built the judiciary’s own AI platform and recently piloted the opening of the trial-support AI system. A court official said, “The key will be how quickly it can assess case records and how much insight it can provide to the panel.”
2. How is this related to the sub
(1) Rule of law & AI transition : Korean National Court Administration plans to introduce AI to enhance the productivity of judges.
3. My opinion
Is AI-assisted court ruling valid? How much trust can we have on AI to properly document legal theories? Can AI understand complex interaction between law and politics ?

I think the biggest question is more “what is the culture surrounding AI in the Korean legal field”? As a lawyer in the US, basically every one of us in our office uses AI daily. I mostly only use it as an alternative search engine for finding caselaw, and never trust a word it says. Some of my colleagues will use it more to streamline drafting or as a word processor. I know the corporate guys will also use it to pull terms from a contract.
As long as there is an understanding that it is full of shit, and can’t be trusted for a minute, I see no problem with this if it will streamline rulings or flag new cases.
As an aside, I have only used it in the US, which is a Common Law system. I know it works better with code based systems since I work in bankruptcy. I wonder if the Korean Civil Law system would be more effective to understand through AI.

This will make trials quicker, but everything depends on the accuracy and security of these systems
I’d rather have one slow but correct trial than five mistrials due to AI inaccuracies or data breaches
