#67 Inside the Black Box of Courts

Show notes

This episode explores how the availability of judicial data is transforming the understanding and application of law across the European Union. It argues that comprehensive, high-quality access to court decisions is no longer a technical detail, but a foundational requirement for legal predictability, democratic accountability, and the rule of law in a data-driven society. The discussion outlines the shift from a purely text-based interpretation of law toward an empirical analysis of “law in action,” where judicial behavior, argumentation patterns, and decision-making trends can be examined at scale. It explains why data quality—completeness, structure, reliability, and accessibility—is decisive for meaningful AI-supported legal analysis. Furthermore, the episode examines Europe’s fragmented landscape of judicial transparency and addresses the growing role of artificial intelligence in legal research, highlighting why explainable AI is essential to prevent hallucinations, ensure verifiability, and maintain legal accountability.
