‘The integration of AI into judicial systems is transforming how judges and legal professionals work. AI tools have been proposed for tasks such as legal research, decision support, evidence analysis, and case management. However, little work has been done to inform the design of AI systems that might be used in judges’ day-to-day work activities. Through a formative focus group study, in which 12 United Kingdom judges participated, including 5 members of the UK Supreme Court, we explore common perceptions of AI across different roles in the UK judiciary from first-instance hearings to appellate decision-making. We identify potential everyday uses, as well as hesitations and perceived benefits. Through this, we take initial steps toward understanding the opportunities, user expectations and requirements for integrating AI into the administration of law in the UK.’
