Using A.I., researchers seek to improve legal practice, administration of justice
The U.S. House of Representatives just last week passed the Open Courts Act, bipartisan legislation which would require the federal judiciary to provide free public access to court records online and modernize the court system. And although the chances that the bill will be signed into law before a new Congress starts in January are uncertain, a team of Northwestern University researchers sees such movement as an encouraging sign.
Funded by a National Science Foundation grant, the Northwestern interdisciplinary team has also been working to make public court records more freely accessible.
