UN SDGs, AI, and the Future of Legal Professions: Fostering Equality and Access to Law

About the Event

The emergence of artificial intelligence is challenging traditional forms of practicing law. It provides an opportunity to revisit and address global inequalities in the provision of and access to legal services. To this end, SCLA is planning to launch an international forum with the goal of making the access to legal services more equitable for the global public. It will do this by promoting the use of artificial intelligence in the legal field, setting global standards, and improving and disseminating best practices.

We are bringing together the best minds and resources from around the world to find and innovate fair, effective, and sustainable solutions that unite AI and the legal industry. This will modernize and effectivize the supply of legal services. It means eradicating the barriers to accessing legal services through a global standardisation to ensure that everyone has access to fair legal services during the transformation of the legal profession enabled by AI. In doing this, we continue to implement and realise the work needed to fulfil the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals while protecting the public interest and encouraging innovation.
