Abstract

Development of legal norms is not the purpose for itself. They have concrete aims which should be achieved through their implementation, and in that context we are talking about the effectiveness of law. On the other side, it is important that concrete aims, proclaimed by laws, are implemented efficiently, in a way where results yield the largest possible net benefit. The European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ) is a body of the Council of Europe (CoE) composed of the experts from 46 the CoE member states which aim is preparation of tools for the improvement of the efficiency of justice system in Europe. The subject of this paper is the efficiency of justice in the context of the CEPEJ mandate. The purpose of the article is to analyse the legal structure of the CEPEJ and its connection to the raising implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) within legal systems. The author’s attention will be also on the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act), as well as the CoE Draft Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence, Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law (DFC), and their connection with efficiency and justice. Two legal methods will be applied: doctrinal and descriptive methodology frameworks.
