Full Description
The Cambridge Handbook of AI in Civil Dispute Resolution is the first global, in-depth exploration of how artificial intelligence is transforming civil justice. Moving past speculation, it showcases real-world applications-from predictive analytics in Brazil's courts to generative AI in the Dutch legal system and China's AI-driven Internet Courts. Leading scholars and practitioners examine the legal, ethical, and regulatory challenges, including the EU AI Act and emerging governance frameworks. With rich case studies and comparative insights, the book explores AI's impact on access to justice, procedural fairness, and the evolving public-private balance. Essential reading for legal academics, policymakers, technologists, and dispute resolution professionals, it offers a critical lens on AI's promise-and its limits-in reshaping civil dispute resolution worldwide.
