Judicial analytics and Australian courts: A call for national ethical guidelines

Judicial analytics is the use of data to monitor, understand and predict judicial behaviour. This is a global phenomenon and a cause for both celebration and concern. Given the unique role of courts and the potential for judicial analytics to undermine the rule of law, there is a need to review and revise the current inertia in the Australian regulatory approach to this issue. This article calls for the development of professional ethical guidelines for law and other disciplines, to assist and guide the creation and dissemination of predictive judicial analytics.
