This article examines the multiple inter-connected and interacting catalysts for past, current and future family court reform. We then, with deep humility and quiet ambition, contemplate the next 50 years and hypothesize about future court reform which we predict will focus on technology. We observe how what was once a fanciful idea for family courts (such as electronic filing and online court events) is realistic today. We contend that, in a similar vein, the technological reforms postulated in this article (such as judgment writing assisted by artificial intelligence) may become the reality of the future.¹

彻底改变家庭法庭：改革的催化剂和技术的变革作用

本文探讨了过去、当前和未来家庭法院改革的多重相互关联和相互作用的催化剂。然后，我们怀着深深的谦卑和平静的雄心，思考未来 50 年，并对未来的法院改革做出假设，我们预测改革将侧重于技术。我们观察到曾经对家庭法庭来说是一个奇特的想法（例如电子归档和在线法庭活动）如今如何成为现实。我们认为，同样，本文中假设的技术改革（例如人工智能辅助的判决书撰写）可能会成为未来的现实。¹
