Objective: to determine the potential and acceptability of using artificial intelligence in legal activities according to the Nigerian law.

Methods

Methods: the research is based on scientific analysis, as well as formallegal, comparative-legal, historical-legal and systemic-functional methods. The scope of the research is represented by the norms of legislation, including expired normative legal acts, as well as scientific monographic and periodical literature.

Results

Results: It was found that artificial intelligence and robot lawyers are inevitable innovations in the legal practice of many countries, including Nigeria. The use of these digital technologies has proven to be highly effective in activities related to the administration of justice, providing assistance in four areas of legal services: consulting and guidance, searching for materials, data analysis and forecasting the trial results. Technology greatly facilitates the work of lawyers, given the amount of legal services. In addition, the author show that while the use of artificial intelligence may generally be considered justified, the involvement of robot lawyers in legal practice in Nigeria facesboth legal and ethical barriers. The laws on legal education and legal practice in force in this country do not recognize robot lawyers as persons licensed to practice law in Nigeria. Robot lawyers must be given the status of a person before they can fully implement their potential in the legal practice of Nigeria.

Scientific novelty

Scientific novelty: this is primarily due to the formulation of a research task to determine the possibility of a robot acting as a practicing lawyer within the legal framework in Nigeria.

Practical significance

Practical significance: the conclusions formulated in the paper, namely, the inevitability of using artificial intelligence and robot lawyers in legal practice and the current legislation governing legal practice in Nigeria, will be useful when considering amendments to legislation in order to adapt it to the current level of digital technology development.

Цель

Цель: определить потенциал и допустимость применения искусственного интеллекта в юридической деятельности по праву Нигерии.

Методы

Методы: в основу исследования положены метод научного анализа, а также формально-юридический, сравнительно-правовой, историко-правовой и системно-функциональный методы. Круг исследования представлен нормами законодательства, включая утратившие силу нормативные правовые акты, а также научной монографической и периодической литературой.

Результаты

Результаты: было установлено, что искусственный интеллект и роботы-юристы являются неизбежными инновациями юридической практики многих стран, включая Нигерию. Применение указанных цифровых технологий доказало свою высокую эффективность в деятельности, связанной с отправлением правосудия, оказывая содействие в четырех областях юридических услуг: консультировании и руководстве, поиске материалов, анализе данных и прогнозировании результатов судебного процесса. Технологии значительно облегчают труд юристов, учитывая масштабы юридических услуг. Кроме того, было установлено, что, хотя применение искусственного интеллекта в целом может быть признано оправданным, привлечение роботов-юристов к юридической практике в Нигерии сталкивается как с юридическими, так и с этическими барьерами. Законы о юридическом образовании и юридической практике, действующие в этой стране, не признают роботов-юристов лицами, имеющими лицензию на юридическую практику в Нигерии. Юристы-роботы должны быть наделены статусом личности, прежде чем они смогут полностью реализовать свой потенциал в правореализационной практике Нигерии.

Научная новизна

Научная новизна: обусловлена прежде всего постановкой исследовательской задачи по определению возможности выступления робота в качестве практикующего юриста в рамках правовой базы юридической практики в Нигерии.

Практическая значимость

Практическая значимость: сформулированные в работе выводы о неизбежности использования искусственного интеллекта и роботов-юристов в юридической практике, а также о текущем состоянии законов, регулирующих юридическую практику в Нигерии, будут полезны при рассмотрении вопроса о внесении поправок в законодательство для его адаптации к современному уровню развития цифровых технологий.
