LAW AND IT TECHNOLOGIES. PREDICTIVE JUSTICE
Abstract
Predictive justice is one of the newest directions of law evolution, being at the same time an expression of its digitalization. Modern society places great emphasis on interdisciplinarity, so that law and IT technologies are models in this direction. The paper aims to study this new phenomenon, identify the principles according to which it works, as well as present, respectively analyze predictive justice models already implemented in countries such as the United States or France. At the same time, we aim to highlight the functions that predictive justice can perform, in the sense that such a high-tech legal approach can be an aid in decision-making or can even be the main tool in decision-making. Can human resources be replaced by an algorithm in the administration of justice? A proposed result, following the research undertaken, is the drawing up of a predictive justice model that can be implemented in the national law system. The research methods used are literature review, epistemological method and comparative method.
