Analysis of Current AI Resilience
Court & License Clerks
Updated Quarterly • Last Update: 11/22/2025
State of Automation & Augmentation
Many clerk tasks are now done with computer tools, and AI can help with routine work – but humans still do the final checks. For example, courts have moved from paper dockets to fully digital case files. A study of a Swedish court found that all documents were put “in the cloud” so staff can track cases and know who needs to act [1].
Clerks used to write out meeting minutes by hand, but now AI tools like Otter.ai can join an online meeting and transcribe speech into text [2]. A reviewer of a new AI note-taking device said it “excels at transcribing meetings…with high accuracy” [3]. This makes it faster for clerks to prepare agendas and edit minutes.
License and permitting systems are also getting smarter. Some cities use AI and mapping data to speed up application review. One new online permit system in Honolulu cut approval times by about 70% using automated checks and workflows [4].
Similarly, many government websites have chatbots to answer simple questions about licenses and rules [5]. These bots can give quick answers 24/7 while more complicated queries still go to a person. In all cases, the AI does the repetitive bits (like filing data or pulling information) and human clerks do the judgment calls.
So far, AI is a helper: it flags things for clerks or drafts text, but people always make the final decisions and keep an eye on legal details.

AI Adoption
Courts are taking AI very cautiously. New rules often require any AI use to be approved and supervised. For instance, New York’s court policy says staff must use only approved AI tools and still “preserve human judgment” – AI should improve efficiency but “not replace human responsibility” [6].
Delaware’s policy similarly requires training before using AI and forbids letting AI make decisions alone [6]. California’s courts even demand that humans check any AI-generated text for accuracy [6]. These safeguards mean courts will adopt AI slowly, step by step.
Cost and trust also matter. Buying AI software and training staff can be expensive for a city or county government. Law offices worry about mistakes: in fact, some judges found errors in orders drafted by AI, prompting calls for strict guidelines [6].
Because legal work is sensitive, people expect clerks to double-check everything. On the other hand, efficiency could push AI use where it’s safe. The Honolulu example shows big time savings [4], and courts with heavy backlogs may welcome tools that cut paperwork.
Overall, AI can help with tedious tasks, but clerks’ skills – like understanding the law, organizing the office, and helping people – remain crucial. In short, AI is being added slowly under rules and human supervision, making the work easier rather than replacing the human clerk.
