On October 27, 2026, Jus Mundi unveiled its AI-powered arbitrator search feature in a private beta phase, integrated into Jus AI, the company's proprietary large language model tailored for arbitration. This advancement aims to transform the selection and research of arbitrators, a vital step in international arbitration where choices can significantly influence case outcomes and procedural efficiency.
The new AI search taps into Jus Connect, a comprehensive database housing thousands of professionally vetted arbitrator profiles. This data backbone empowers the AI to identify and evaluate candidates based on specific case criteria, enabling arbitration lawyers to access a more extensive and diverse talent pool than traditional manual searches allow.
Equipped with sophisticated features, the AI system generates answers supported by citations, points out gaps in available information, and employs guardrails to frame response parameters, ensuring reliable and relevant outputs. This approach not only assists lawyers in faster and deeper research but also bolsters transparency in arbitrator selection—a benefit highlighted by Gabrielle Kaufmann-Kohler, Partner at Lévy Kaufmann-Kohler, who noted the platform’s contribution to increasing transparency in international arbitration overall.
Jus Mundi is actively involving its Mission Committee, along with clients, partners, and organizations that focus on diversity and professional standards, to test this beta feature and provide feedback. This collaborative approach aims to refine the tool before broader release, potentially setting new standards for technological integration in legal dispute resolution.
By the numbers:
- October 27, 2026 — AI arbitrator search private beta launched
- Thousands of professional profiles — data source powering the AI tool
What's next: Jus Mundi will collect feedback from its Mission Committee and partners to improve the AI search tool before a wider launch.
