Abstract
Looking back few decades, lives were quite different and difficult from the recent developments in legal systems around the globe. Besides other spheres of life, this generation is witnessing profound impact that technology has had not only on our daily interactions but legal jurisdiction and systems. The way in which disputes are resolved is one area that has undergone rapid transformation. Whether it's an e-commerce dispute or a cinema ticket, technology has made it much easier to find a solution to any problem that arises. Dispute resolution via technology has also received praise on the international stage. Online dispute resolution (ODR) has recently been adopted as a method in numerous jurisdictions. As a first step toward a more efficient legal system and a more peaceful society, this article examines the possibilities and opportunities how artificial intelligence-based technologies can help legal structure for its reforms, and especially its usage for dispute resolution. Further, this study takes the opportunity to review the potentials and obstacles in legal structure of Pakistan for implementing alike modern technologies to establish electronic courts (e-courts) and improve the mechanism to resolve complex matters. For the same, a comparative study approach is used to survey e-courts in Malaysia and India. Analysis and comparisons of different e-courts trends around the world with Pakistani legal systems will be made. When it comes to Pakistan's courts, how compatible are the e-courts' system and how can it be implemented in existing judicial system of Pakistan along with what obstacles are in the way of digitising. While answering these queries, this study will suggest recommendations accordingly.
