the courtroom just got an ai assistant that drafts the judgment. korea's supreme court laid out that vision on september 17 with ai delivering daily case briefs and draft rulings, while russia's supreme court order from september 3 sets a 95 percent judge-adoption target by 2030.
the final decision stays human, but the first draft may not.
Context
Verified source: The Seoul Economic Daily and Chosun (Sep 17, 2026) report Justice Lee Sook-yeon presented a vision of a courtroom where AI analyzes cases each morning, reports to judges and drafts rulings, to chief justices from across the Asia-Pacific, with human judgment kept as the priority.
Verified source: Order No. 59-P of the Chairman of the Supreme Court of Russia, dated Sep 3, 2026, approves a Concept for introducing AI in judicial proceedings. Reports say it plans AI-generated draft judicial acts, AI access in all courts by Q2 2027 and a 2030 target.
The Sep 17 Korean presentation and the Sep 3 Russian order match the sources, and Korea's was a vision presented to a regional meeting and not a rollout. The 95 percent judge-adoption figure was not seen in the excerpts read, so unsupported here, not refuted. 'The first draft may not be human' is the author's opinion.
Watch next
- Read the Russian concept text for the adoption target wording.
