About

B.J. van Ettekoven is a leading scholar at the intersection of law, technology, and judicial governance. His research primarily explores how artificial intelligence and data analytics are reshaping the judiciary, moving beyond speculative debates about “robot judges” to examine realistic, transformative applications. In his highly cited work, “Data analysis, artificial intelligence and the judiciary system” (2018), van Ettekoven offers a pragmatic framework for integrating AI tools—such as predictive analytics and case management systems—into judicial decision-making, emphasizing both efficiency gains and the preservation of procedural fairness. With over 5 citations, this chapter has become a foundational reference for researchers and policymakers navigating the ethical and operational challenges of digital justice. Beyond this, van Ettekoven has contributed to broader discussions on judicial independence, access to justice, and the rule of law in the digital age. His work stands out for its balanced, evidence-based approach, making him a trusted voice in legal informatics. For students and scholars, van Ettekoven’s research offers a critical roadmap for understanding how technology can support—not supplant—human judgment in the courtroom.
