A REVOLUÇÃO DIGITAL NO DIREITO: IMPLICAÇÕES E DESAFIOS DA TECNOLOGIA NA ADVOCACIA CONTEMPORÂNEA DE RIO BRANCO – ACRE

Digital transformation has been driving profound changes in contemporary law practice, particularly due to the rise of online litigation and the growing adoption of artificial intelligence in the legal field. In this context, concerns arise regarding the impact of these innovations on legal practice, especially in relation to the efficiency of legal services, the professional security of lawyers, and the ethical boundaries involved. Therefore, the aim is to analyze the implications of technology in law, investigating its influence on access to justice, case management, and the ethical challenges arising from the use of artificial intelligence. To this end, a qualitative, exploratory research approach is adopted, based on bibliographic and documentary review. Current legislation, resolutions from the National Justice Council, and academic studies on the digitalization of the judiciary are examined. It is observed that technology can enhance procedural efficiency and democratize access to justice, although it presents challenges such as excessive reliance on automated systems and the risk of compromising professional ethics. This leads to the conclusion that digital innovation must be implemented in a balanced manner, ensuring the lawyer’s autonomy and legal security in the exercise of the profession.
