Generative AI for judicial work
The iAssistant and the iHub extend the search with secure generative AI. Every answer is based on the court’s case files and decisions and references the original source.

Example use cases
Summarizing case files: Selected case file components are condensed into a concise summary – subject matter, facts and the parties’ positions, with source references.
Finding comparable decisions: Ask the internal decision archive questions in natural language, with answers referencing the underlying decisions.
Revising dictations and drafts: Correct speech-recognized dictations, improve wording, and translate passages as a working translation.
Preparing statement-of-facts drafts: Initial drafts based on selected case file components – as a working basis for judges.
Pseudonymized research: Case information is pseudonymized internally, so that only an abstract legal question is sent to legal databases.
