The SYNERGY Brazil 2020 global conference was held on September 23 and 24, gathering professionals from tax, legal, and foreign trade sectors to engage in current debates.
This year, the event was held online with free registration due to the new coronavirus pandemic, but still covered significant societal and professional topics.
SYNERGY Brazil 2020 welcomed two prominent figures in the field of Justice and Law 4.0 on the 24th at 10:50. Ricardo Cueva, Minister of STJ, and Erik Navarro, Federal Judge and Academic Coordinator of the New Law Institute, discussed the impact of technology on the daily life of lawyers.
Challenges faced by future lawyers in the modern world.
Professionals, including lawyers, must recognize and address various challenges to enhance their performance.
Hyper judicialization is a significant challenge in the fields of law and justice, with Brazil having 80 million ongoing cases, a 70% backlog, and costs amounting to 1.4% of the country’s GDP, as stated by Minister Ricardo Cueva.
Minister Cueva highlighted the ongoing technological gap in the market. While Labor Justice is the most advanced segment with all new electronic cases in TSE, Electoral Justice lags behind significantly, with only 11.4% of legal proceedings initiated electronically.
The significant digital changes in the field, along with the utilization of artificial intelligence and Big Data analysis, have the potential to greatly reduce the challenges faced by lawyers and judges. However, the complexity of the process has sparked discussions on the necessity of implementing strict regulations.
Judge Erik Navarro mentions that their extensive digitized collection can now be seen as an advantage in the age of artificial intelligence.
Two crucial resolutions, 331 and 332, are currently in effect to hasten the digital transformation in the Justice sector by addressing ethics, transparency, and governance in the development and utilization of Artificial Intelligence within the Judiciary Branch.
Judge Navarro emphasizes the significance of platform standardization through the establishment of a National Database in Resolution 331. This resolution mandates courts to develop APIs for system integration and data analysis to enhance judicial efficiency.
Technology applications in the legal field today
The challenges discussed at the Synergy Brazil 2020 event highlight the necessity for digital transformation in the field of law to be implemented without delay.
Artificial intelligence is currently employed in the legal sector to enhance efficiency and automate administrative tasks, such as workflow management, standardizing routines, merging files, and completing predefined templates. This technology is particularly advantageous in court secretariats and electoral offices.
