In a roundtable held at the Federation Council focused on digitizing legal proceedings through the Electronic lawsuits mechanism, Alexander Bashkin, a member of the constitutional committee, spoke about how automation could streamline the drafting of court decisions. He noted that artificial intelligence tasks have the potential to ease the workload for officials and legal professionals. This update comes from DEA News.
“Automating the preparation of court orders, which form the core of many documents issued by judges, could significantly reduce the pressure on judges. Because the process involves compiling documents rather than disputes between parties, the drafting of a court order is largely a technical task that AI can perform,” Bashkin explained. The practical implication is that routine, boilerplate language could be generated with consistent accuracy, freeing human staff to focus on more complex aspects of case handling. DEA News coverage.
However, Bashkin emphasized that any deployment of artificial intelligence should be accompanied by careful human oversight. He stressed that ongoing monitoring by qualified individuals is essential to ensure the integrity, fairness, and accountability of AI-assisted decisions in the judiciary. DEA News quotes.
