Context

Mexico's Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) sought a way to help the public understand draft rulings currently being voted on by the Court, which are otherwise written in technical legal language.

Objectives

To let any member of the public enter a docket number and ask plain-language questions about a draft judgment.

Activities

Minister Ana Margarita Ríos Farjat's office introduced the chatbot Sor Juana (named for Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz), built using Streamlit, Google's AI tools and the Pinecone vector database, covering only draft rulings supervised by that minister's office rather than the Court's full docket.

Results

The tool is live and answering public queries, but no usage volumes, accuracy rates or user-satisfaction figures have been published; independent trackers such as CIDE's Algoritmos Públicos and Universidad de los Andes' algorithm registry list it as an unevaluated public-sector AI system to watch.

Conclusions

Sor Juana remains a single-office pilot with no demonstrated replication to other SCJN dockets or courts, and no published accuracy or bias assessment.
