The research will try to explore and critically examine the various facets of automation in the adjudicatory process with a more pronounced focus on the criminal trials. It will discuss how the technological advancements and the stakeholders in the administration of criminal justice can play a pivotal role in embracing the digitized justice system. The research is of particular relevance to the policy formulators and the judges and the legal practitioners in the judiciary. It endeavors to give an insight into the potential benefits of automation in the criminal trial which are, among others, accuracy of the judgment, reduced time consumption during the trial and the post-trial proceedings, and enhanced public trust in the judiciary. Secondly, it focuses on the material changes that have taken place in either the functions of the court or in the type of work that it is doing through the introduction of automated systems. This part will critically examine the theoretical and philosophical issues arising from the attempts to understand the work of the court in the face of bureaucratic and technological change. Like most of the sociological work, there are many possible ways of characterizing the nature of the work of the court. This research will focus on the way in which the new technological and management systems are seeking to categorize the work of the court in different ways. It is a transformative phase for the judiciary worldwide. Since the creation of the world's first artificial intelligence (AI) judge in 2017 in Beijing, China, various countries in the world are employing different kinds of technological advancements to reshape their courts. In the digitized justice system, the computers or the IT systems will take over judicial decision-making, rather than a human judge carrying out those assessments. Scope of the research: It will focus on providing a comprehensive understanding of the existing methodology and procedures in criminal trials, as well as the different phases of a criminal trial. It will also explore the challenges in the current system and how automation can potentially mitigate these issues. The study will not be looking into the history or the development of criminal trials, or the different types of criminal offences or the sentencing powers of criminal courts. Research methodology: The main aim of this aspect of the research was to critically evaluate the information provided in the literature vis-a-vis the information gathered in real life through consultations and technology visits. A reflective analysis of the evidence to establish the relative pros and cons of adopting automated criminal trials was a part of this phase of research. Most importantly, the entire research process was geared towards aligning the proposed literature and the knowledge obtained from the field work. The findings of the field study really did buoy up the points made in the literature, and there had been a coherent understanding of the information provided.
