        <p>“Equality under the law” is enshrined in Ar4cle 7 of the Universal Declara4on of Human Rights, but equality in legal forums is oBen elusive for moderate-income and poor individuals. Those who can't afford an aIorney are at a disadvantage as compared to those represented by counsel and oBen dispropor4onately burden courts, agencies, and other ins4tu4ons that must adjudicate their claims or defenses. The ICAIL 2023 Workshop on Ar4ficial Intelligence for Access to Jus4ce , held on June 19, 2023, in Braga, Portugal, was an opportunity for researchers from diverse fields to share insights into the ways that technology can help make jus4ce more equal for all li4gants, regardless of economic status. The implica4ons for access to jus4ce of recent drama4c improvements in genera4ve AI systems were a recurring theme in the workshop. Seven papers from ten submissions were accepted by the Program CommiIee for presenta4on and inclusion in these proceedings. These papers can be divided into three categories based on the scope of the access-to-jus4ce issues that they address. Intelligent support for individual li4gants is the focus of the first three papers: Westermann et al., “LLMediator: GPT-4 Assisted Online Dispute Resolu4on,” Bran4ng and McCLoud, “Narra4ve-Driven Case Elicita4on”; and Tan et al., “ChatGPT as an Ar4ficial Lawyer?” Legal text analysis across mul4ple cases is the focus of Epps et al., “Adap4ng Abstrac4ve Summariza4on to Court Examina4ons in a Zero -Shot Seeng” and Saadany et al., “BeIer Transcrip4on of UK Supreme Court Hearings.” Finally, analysis and evalua4on at a system level is addressed by Draper and Gillibrand, “The Poten4al for Jurisdic4onal Challenges to AI or LLM Training Datasets” and Bran4ng, “The Jus4ce Access Game.” Improving the ability of all ci4zens equally to assert their rights and defenses in legal forums will require many ins4tu4onal as well as technical advances. However, the work presented here illuminates many promising avenues for such advances.</p>
