Abstract
The court they say is the last hope of the common man. The court is a temple where justice is sought and obtain. A court of law is designed in such a way that it does not exist in vacuum. In the course of the dispensation of justice, the procedures involved comprise of two distinct but inseparable bodies, which are the Bar and the Bench. Any litigant in court, except in exceptional cases, must be represented by a law and such a matter must be presided over by an independent and an impartial umpire, known as the judge. These two bodies form the two sides of any court system and Nigeria is not an exception. Recently, the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in to the legal profession has generated a lot argument among writers and commentators. The first view is that, with the rate at which technology is growing, AI may soon take-over the work of lawyers especially, in the area of advocacy. The second view is that AI will only help in the proper administration of justice and it will go a long way to decongest cases in court eliminate all the tedious processes involved in litigation. In view of the above, this work will look at the two sides of the court and the impact or effect of Artificial Intelligence in the legal profession in Nigeria.
