Service: AI Robort Judge for small claims in Estonia

Responsible organisation: Estonian Ministry of Justice (Central-Government)

The project want to implement a “robot judge” that could adjudicate small claims disputes of less than €7,000 (about $8,000). Officials hope the system can clear a backlog of cases for judges and court clerks. The project is in its early phases and a pilot started in 2019 focusing on contract disputes. In concept, the two parties will upload documents and other relevant information, and the AI will issue a decision that can be appealed to a human judge. Many details are still to be worked out. Velsberg says the system might have to be adjusted after feedback from lawyers and judges.
