This research explores the crucial challenges influencing the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the legal domain, a field facing escalating challenges due to rapid technological advancements. We have comprehensively identified, extracted, and evaluated 11 pivotal factors across legal, technical, and socio-ethical dimensions through a systematic review based on the PRISMA guideline. These factors are categorized into three principal groups. Utilizing an analytic hierarchy process (AHP), our innovative approach assesses the relative importance of these challenges based on data meticulously gathered from eight domain experts in law and AI. Our findings pinpoint legal aspects as the paramount category, with liability as the foremost concern among the analyzed factors. These insights offer robust and actionable guidelines for integrating AI into legal practices and underscore this study’s unique contribution to bridging the gap between legal professionals and technology developers. By highlighting the practical applications of our results, this paper facilitates a deeper understanding and proactive engagement with the essential considerations pivotal for the future adoption and evolution of AI within the legal domain.
