Andorra unveils AI-driven jurisprudence search to modernize judiciary

The Superior Council of Justice has launched a digital transformation strategy aimed at modernizing Andorra’s judicial system and making it more accessible and transparent. A key element of this plan is a new jurisprudence search engine that will allow users to consult more than 15,000 judgments and judicial decisions quickly and intelligently.

Josep Maria Rossell, president of the Superior Council of Justice, described the tool as “powerful, reliable and easy to use,” and said it is intended to serve both legal professionals and the general public. The search engine features a modern, intuitive interface and lets users navigate by subject and concept using a thesaurus of over 4,000 terms and thematic entries.

Searches can be performed by keyword, by reference to specific laws, or in natural language. The system uses artificial intelligence to interpret user intent and to classify documents automatically with metadata. The same technology also supports improved anonymization processes for judgments, enhancing personal data protection and privacy safeguards.

All decisions published in the system include the standard ECLI (European Case Law Identifier), which facilitates interoperability and international visibility. The new search engine complements the electronic case file introduced in February, which has changed how courts manage proceedings by enabling digital, secure and efficient case handling.

Officials say the initiative is part of a broader, people-centered modernization effort and aligns the Andorran judiciary with leading European models through the adoption of AI-driven and semantic search functionalities. The Council positions the technology as a tool to support a more efficient, transparent and accessible justice system.
