The ADELE AI tool supports legal research and decision-making in the judiciary. It processes annotated datasets on intellectual property and VAT taxation to predict outcomes of new cases (so far it hinges upon Italian and Bulgarian cases), extract key legal arguments, and build citation networks. This tool aims to improve judicial efficiency, reduce workload, and enhance transparency, while fostering scientific debate on AI's role in the legal field.
