Abstract: 

This paper examines the synergistic integration of blockchain technology and legal chatbots as a revolutionary approach to enhancing access to justice for the general public. It explores how these technologies collectively have the potential to overcome longstanding barriers in legal systems worldwide, making legal information, advice, and representation more accessible and equitable. By examining a variety of deployments, case studies, and theoretical frameworks, this study offers a thorough analysis of current applications and their impact on enhancing justice accessibility. Guided by the principles of the United Nations General Assembly’s first resolution on Artificial Intelligence, this paper outlines a future direction for the legal field, emphasizing the need for ethical guidelines, inclusivity, and global cooperation to ensure the benefits of blockchain and legal chatbots are realized equitably. Through this exploration, the paper aims to contribute significantly to the ongoing development of legal technology, advocating for a legal ecosystem that leverages AI and blockchain to promote a more just, transparent, and efficient legal landscape.
