The Role of AI in Fair Distribution of Judicial Work

Introduction

The Pakistani judiciary is overwhelmed with the ever-increasing number of cases, while courts and staff face immense pressure to deliver timely justice. In some courts, over 150 cases are fixed daily, while others have significantly lighter workloads. This imbalance in distribution causes delays, inefficiency, and loss of public trust.

This is where Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a powerful solution. When implemented properly, AI can make the distribution of judicial work more fair, balanced, and efficient.

How Can AI Help?

1. Classification-Based Allocation

AI can automatically analyze each case's category (criminal, civil, family, anti-terrorism, etc.) and allocate it to judges based on their expertise and jurisdiction.

2. Caseload Analysis

AI can evaluate the number of pending cases, daily hearing schedules, and decision-making speed of each court to propose a balanced fixing plan—ensuring that no single judge or court is overburdened.

3. Prioritizing Urgent Cases

AI can identify and flag urgent or sensitive cases—such as those involving stay orders, under-trial prisoners, women, or children—for early hearings, improving access to timely justice.

4. Reducing Human Bias and Errors

Currently, case fixing is done manually, often relying on subjective judgment and workload estimations. This process is vulnerable to unintended bias and inconsistencies. AI can automate this task with data-driven objectivity and neutrality.

Features of an Ideal AI System

  • Smart Roznamcha Generator: Automatically prepares a daily cause list with balanced case distribution.
  • Judge Workload Balancer: Suggests daily or weekly case schedules for each judge, evenly distributing workload.
  • Urgency Detector: Flags high-priority cases for urgent fixing.
  • Performance Dashboard: Tracks performance metrics of courts and helps in planning work distribution.

Conclusion

AI is not here to replace humans—it is here to empower them. By using AI to manage and distribute judicial work fairly, we can reduce delays, improve transparency, and enhance the credibility of our judicial system. The key is to start small, adopt it gradually, and train court staff to trust and utilize AI-based tools.

Let’s make justice not just accessible—but also intelligent.
