With the evolution of Artificial Intelligence in various sectors across the globe. The fact is that today, AI is permeating almost every field and the legal field is no exception. The use of AI in dispute resolution is a no-brainer. Given the immense number of cases that come up on a day-to-day basis having an automated system that consistently delivers the same, sound judgements for cases with similar facts, will help reduce the redundancy of proceedings and enable courts to focus the manpower of judges and lawyers on higher value cases that involve more complex issues. It is thus of utmost importance that the legal fraternity takes note of the growing developments in the sector and looks to implement this technology while trying to seamlessly integrate it into the existing framework. Efficacy without unnecessary disruption should be the theme of the general implementation. In pursuance of this, the following article aims to discuss the applicability and scope of Artificial Intelligence in the legal fraternity and the merits and demerits of the same, and aims to provide some suggestions as to the effective adoption and implementation of Artificial Intelligence in the legal domain.
