Abstract

In the modern legal world just like milky way, Law is expanding like never before. With the intersection of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Mechanism and Artificial Intelligence (AI), from Courtroom to virtual room hearings certainly, judicial system has come a long way. The transformation is witnessed in the traditional Legal methods due the convergence of ADR and AI, the synergy between these two domains is bringing together different capabilities such as flexibility and efficiency, offering a gamut of methods including mediation, arbitration, and negotiation that facilitate out-of-court settlements. Meanwhile, AI introduces advanced capabilities such as predictive analytics, automated decision-making, and virtual arbitration platforms. This research paper provides a comprehensive analysis of how touch of AI can enhance ADR processes by improving access to justice, reducing costs, and accelerating resolution times and ultimately benefiting the judiciary as well as the alternative dispute resolutions’ forums, to lay off the backlog of cases in an organized manner. It also seeks addresses potential challenges, such as ethical considerations and the need for regulatory frameworks to govern AI applications in legal contexts. The present research manuscript will definitely, provide a guiding light and illuminate on sub topics such as meaning and definition of both the terms, as well as their historical backgrounds, along with the present intersection between the two, the pros and cons, along with addressing the ethical considerations and tracking the jurisprudential trajectory of the much-needed interdisciplinary functional aspect of ADR and AI.
