• Abstract:

  This article analyzes Chinese smart courts, highlighting how technological advances in the judiciary can impact social and administrative aspects, in addition to judicial activity itself. Through a bibliographic and documentary review, using the deductive method, Chinese "smart courts" were analyzed and their system was compared to the Western system. It was discussed how these smart courts were implemented, highlighting their efficiency and improvement in the administration of justice. However, the critical need for strict data governance to protect citizens' human rights and privacy was emphasized, given the massive collection and use of personal and legal information. The Chinese experience illustrated the possibility of successfully integrating technology into the judicial system, but also highlighted the importance of balancing innovation with robust rights protection measures, a crucial aspect for other countries interested in adopting similar systems to consider.
