This page highlights the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing access to justice across Commonwealth countries.

Our aim is to gather and share impactful insights, create practical guidelines, and support the rapid development of policies and legal frameworks that empower AI-driven justice systems.

The aim is to advance the Commonwealth Access to Justice Declaration and plan, alongside the Commonwealth Cyber Declaration, with a specific focus on strengthening the rule of law through innovation to help deliver Sustainable Development Goal 16 on peace, justice and strong institutions by 2030.

Knowledge, policy and best practice

As a central hub for knowledge, policy and best practice, we bring together the latest developments in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) within justice systems across the Commonwealth. In a fast-evolving Lawtech landscape, where information is often fragmented, this resource offers a unified space for legal professionals, technologists, and policymakers.

Empowering a global community

Our mission is to empower a global community of justice actors – from judges and lawyers to court technologists and litigants – by showcasing practical AI applications in courts and justice delivery. We will highlight the pioneering work of Commonwealth countries that are using AI and emerging technologies to expand access to justice, improve legal efficiency, and uphold the principles of fairness and accountability.
