The judicial year in the Azores District began on Monday under difficult conditions. The courts in the region face a continuous shortage of human resources, especially court officers, which has been compromising the normal functioning of services.
The judicial infrastructure also presents poor working conditions, with degraded buildings that affect both professionals and users of the judicial system. This situation has been a constant concern for Azorean legal practitioners.
Artificial Intelligence emerges as another concern for lawyers, who see this technology as a potential threat to their professional activity. The technological modernization of the justice sector thus represents an additional challenge for the profession.
