The UAE Ministry of Justice announced this week that it will adopt the artificial intelligence-based “Virtual Lawyer” project from 2025, for the first time in the region.
The ministry explained that this project would help legal institutions develop “legal pleadings” in simple cases and contribute to improving the preparedness of the justice sector for future opportunities.
Note that the first stage will be limited to assisting lawyers in simple cases with features including the ability to interact with a human judge, convert audio to text and vice versa, and submit memoranda and documents .
The virtual lawyer will use the database of unified national legislative texts which will be updated by the Ministry of Justice, while legal firms wishing to use it will have to populate its database, after registering the virtual lawyer with the ministry, it is claimed.
The trial version of this project will be launched during the year 2025, to serve as a model for the services enhanced by advanced digital solutions that future governments seek to provide.
