Justice Patel: If an AI system assists in legal research or case triage, who audits that system?
If a matter is heard virtually, how do we preserve the solemnity and gravity that a courtroom setting confers upon proceedings, so that justice is not merely done but felt by every litigant?
If predictive analytics inform how cases are prioritised, what prevents that prioritisation from quietly favouring the well-resourced litigant who can navigate the system over the unrepresented litigant who cannot?
I would suggest that integrity in the coming decades will not be secured through resistance to change, but through the governance of change.
We need clear judicial and professional standards for the use of technology in our courts standards developed by the judiciary itself, not imposed upon it from outside, and not left to evolve merely by accident.
This is where collaboration across jurisdictions, shared learning, judicial networks and alliances have an important role to play developing shared standards of practice so that innovation in dispute resolution, whether in courts, arbitration or mediation, does not outpace the ethical scaffolding designed to support it.
Integrity, I would add, is also a discipline of humility.
A cynical public relations photo op using a political prisoner who should never have been detained in the first place, and 14,000 more are in jail, while bombs drop and soldiers kill on a daily basis, is not a step forward.

Supreme Court Advocates -on- Record Association lecture on The Future of Justice Delivery: Innovation, Inclusion and Integrity, welcoming Justice Abha Nayar Patel of the Supreme Court of Zambia
Justice V Mohana: Justice cannot be truly inclusive if it is available only to those who can afford to travel to a court, engage a lawyer, or understand a complex legal system. Our constitutional framework has, therefore, consistently moved towards bringing governance and justice closer to the people. Mechanisms such as Lok Adalats, mediation, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution have enabled disputes to be resolved more quickly and closer to the people.
