The disruptive judge as an epilogue to the new spanish judicial ecosystem

Abstract

The digitalization of justice continues to be a global challenge; however, in recent years, various technological initiatives have been promoted to modernize it and adapt it to the demands of an increasingly interconnected society. This process occupies a central role in Spain’s political and reformist agenda, giving rise to innovative platforms capable of expediting the resolution of legal cases and optimizing the efficiency of the judicial system. At the same time, the possibility of incorporating robot judges into the administration of justice has become the focal point of current debate, a proposal that arouses both enthusiasm and apprehension. This research will therefore explore the implications of such an initiative, weighing the potential benefits and risks that automation may entail in judicial decision-making.
