All conversations about Argentina’s Judiciary usually end the same: it needs to improve. We keep talking about the number of jobs or entities, but access or transparency are hardly debated. How could the Justice System improve? Digitalization could be the answer. A proposal to make justice faster, more accessible and transparent.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Argentina\u2019s Judiciary faces challenges in terms of efficiency, access and transparency. Measured by international standards, its case resolution rates are low and resolution terms are too long. Another problem is unequal access, especially for the most disadvantaged social sectors. Moreover, the unavailability of quality statistics hinder the improvement of judicial performance and citizen confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

This paper proposes to address these challenges by accelerating the digital transformation process. It identifies opportunities for improvement and transformation through the incorporation of digital tools, process automation, the use of artificial intelligence and innovation of operating dynamics. It lays the groundwork for planning a digital transformation of justice at the national level.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Low public confidence in the Argentine judiciary is a long-standing and persistent problem.

Access to justice depends on social, economic, institutional, psychological and informational factors. This dependence is accentuated in disadvantaged sectors of society.

A close look at the performance of judicial institutions in terms of transparency reveals that prosecutors and public defenders achieved the highest scores, outperforming the Executive and Legislative Branches. On the other hand, the Supreme Court and the Judicial Council have the lowest scores.<\/span><\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, several institutional reforms have been proposed, focusing on the number and composition of judicial offices and their governing bodies. Discussions have once and again turned to the composition of the Judicial Council or the number of members of the Supreme Court, but these measures do not necessarily improve case resolution rates, access to justice for citizens or the transparency of the judicial system.<\/span><\/p>\n

The digitization of the judicial system represents a unique opportunity of <\/span>overcoming the shortcomings of the Argentine judicial system<\/span><\/a>. Moving forward along the path of digital transformation by innovating practices and incorporating new digital tools will simplify processes, reduce costs and case resolution delays, and eliminate geographical, economic and information barriers hindering access to justice. It will also contribute to data creation, management and dissemination, facilitate accountability and foster citizen confidence in the judicial system.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Since 2010, judicial bodies have begun to implement certain improvements to case management systems. In 2011, Law 26,685 authorized the electronic use of case dockets, documents, signatures, communications and addresses in all judicial and administrative processes. In 2012, a judicial computer system,<\/span> Sistema Inform\u00e1tico de Gesti\u00f3n Judicial, <\/span><\/i>was introduced to digitize judicial proceedings (which, although a great breakthrough at the time, quickly became outdated). Between 2016 and 2019, the Justice 2020 Program created the Argentine Justice Open Data portal with the participation of 55 institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the digitization process that had so far been slow and very inconsistent across different jurisdictions. Not only did it involve incorporating digital tools that were previously optional or ancillary, but it also forced courts to streamline their processes and workflows. In turn, they had to innovate in the organization of internal work and communication, both internally and with users of the system. The pandemic also accelerated the implementation of regulatory frameworks and protocols to validate digital proceedings and documents.<\/span><\/p>\n

This revealed the advantages of digitalization, but also unveiled the deficiencies in terms of technological infrastructure and staff training. Progress is still meager and limited. Although the Judiciary has made significant improvements in infrastructure and functionalities, the registration system still reproduces the logic of a physical document processing.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The introduction of digital justice solutions should be approached as a comprehensive, system-wide and integral reform that goes beyond technological aspects. It is an institutional change that involves multiple organizational and cultural reforms to accompany the adoption of new technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Argentina lacks defined public policies and institutional incentives to promote the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the administration of justice. Existing institutional innovation processes are limited to pioneering experiences, with a limited scope and at an early stage of development.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

By systematizing information, identifying patterns and creating predictions, Artificial Intelligence can greatly contribute to the improvement of processes and decision making in the justice system. It can help simplify and automate tasks, reduce errors and assist in generating documents which in turn result in reduced judicial response times, improved efficiency in resource allocation and a reduction of court bureaucratic tasks. This would allow staff to focus on resolving complex or priority cases.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the introduction of AI in the justice system is not risk-free. One of the most concerning is the potential reinforcement of discrimination and bias. It is critical to guarantee that AI judicial systems comply with fundamental principles such as algorithmic transparency, algorithmic traceability or explainability, open access to algorithms, and algorithmic non-discrimination.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The implementation of AI techniques does not offer a single, universal path. Some applications may have greater potential for impact than others and may also be more problematic than others. This is why the <\/span>European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ)<\/span><\/a> adopted in 2018 the \u201cEuropean Ethical Charter on the Use of Artificial Intelligence\u201d where it reviews different uses, and recommends some while discouraging others.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
