This study examined the functioning of intelligent criminal courts and their capacity to administer justice in digital environments without compromising the principles of fair trial. Employing a descriptive–analytical methodology, the researchers undertook a doctrinal and comparative legal review of statutes, judicial rulings, procedural frameworks, and academic literature across multiple jurisdictions. The discussion encompassed key components such as electronic filing, evidentiary integrity, remote or hybrid hearings, and the constitutional assessment of judgements from a rights-based standpoint. Findings indicate that maintaining human oversight, ensuring enforceability, integrating explainability-by-design, upholding equality, and preserving the auditability of digital evidence chains significantly enhance the operational efficiency, transparency, and accessibility of technological tools within the justice system. The study also established that sound design protocols and competent supervision reinforce judicial independence and procedural fairness, even when technological systems are extensively applied. Furthermore, it proposed a Smart Court operational framework aimed at converting normative legal standards into procedural mechanisms and quantifiable safeguards. Accordingly, the research advocates for the institutionalization of mandatory human-in-the-loop reviews at crucial decision-making stages, the implementation of standardised evaluation checklists, the incorporation of algorithmic reasoning principles, and routine assessments to maintain public trust and ensure adherence to due process.
