Abstract : The present legal dockets and workflow management system function at a low level because it relies on human judgment and manual reactive scheduling methods. The research creates an original framework which employs Large Language Models (LLMs) to revolutionize legal forecasting operations. The system proposes to apply LLMs for analyzing unstructured legal information to detect hidden elements which affect case prediction accuracy by studying procedural obstacles and judicial decision patterns. The core innovation develops a theoretical framework which uses extracted features to build a probabilistic system that produces time-based forecasts for court milestones and displays case delay risks and enables users to assess various scenarios. The paper demonstrates how the system produces better predictions and strategic decisions, but it thoroughly analyzes three major ethical concerns which stem from data prejudices and model-generated false information and unexplainable system operations. The research framework enables new methods for active legal administration which start essential discussions about AI-based judicial development for future courts. The research establishes conditions which will enable future studies to link theoretical models with experimental laboratory testing.
