These regulations, as reported by Okaz, aim to establish a clear institutional framework for organizing these procedures using AI-based methodologies.\n\nThe framework outlines responsibilities and sets standards, enhancing the quality of judicial studies and drafts. It promotes consistent application of judicial regulations and principles across all levels of litigation. The Preparation Center oversees case preparation and review in first instance courts, while technical offices provide support to appeal courts and the Supreme Court.\n\nA Technical Affairs Office at the Supreme Judicial Council monitors technical observations, ensuring they contribute to performance improvements.

This comprehensive approach to litigation support underscores the Supreme Judicial Council's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology for improved judicial outcomes.",
