India’s justice system faces a critical inflection point. Subordinate courts account for 87% of pendency, hampered by paper-heavy processes, staff shortages, and inconsistent digital adoption, leading to delays, high costs, and eroded public trust. At the same time, emerging opportunities—AI-assisted triaging, multilingual translation tools, e-filing, and digital public infrastructure—hold promise to expand access and efficiency. Yet technology alone is insufficient; systemic resilience, sustainable financing, institutional reforms, and capacity building across stakeholders are equally vital.
The workshop Re-imagining Justice 2030: People, Process, and Technology brings together judges, policymakers, academia, philanthropy, legal-tech innovators, and civil society to co-create actionable pathways. Through roundtable discussions, participants will explore three themes: System Strengthening (policy, philanthropy, structural reforms), Technology Integration (AI and digitisation for efficiency and access), and Capacity Building & Ethics (future-ready skills, inclusive adoption, ethical safeguards). The workshop aims to chart pilots, standards, and collaborative models that reduce pendency, lower costs, and restore citizen trust in justice delivery by 2030.
