This article examines the legal infrastructure and systemic prerequisites for AI in-tegration within Iran’s judicial system. Using doctrinal and documentary analysis of binding instruments, it assesses institutional readiness across enabling capacities and governance safeguards. The analysis indicates that Iran has built a substantial enabling layer, and that registry-backed, rule-based automation is already operational in three legally consequen-tial domains: heirs certification, financial enforcement under the Sayyad check system, and traffic bodily-injury compensation. In these domains, determinations that were historically produced through discretionary judicial steps are increasingly generated through interope-rable registries and standardized workflows, grounded in pragmatic doctrinal accommoda-tion and explicit statutory authorization.By contrast, the protective layer has not developed at the same pace, particularly regarding transparency, data-subject rights, and effective contestability. To address this asymmetry, the article proposes a Qualified Human-in-the-Loop (Q-HITL) framework under which sys-tem outputs function only as advisory proposals and can acquire legal effect solely through mandatory validation (or reasoned rejection) by a legally accountable judge.
