Summary/Abstract: With the advent of generative artificial intelligence in the domain of adjudication, new modes of interpreting the concept of justice have emerged. This article examines the articulation of justice in the children’s novel Peter Pan, using literature as a field for philosophical experimentation. It explores the intuitions the novel develops around justice: through the noble sense of justice embodied by Mr. George Darling, who subjects himself to punishment, and through the ontological wound experienced by the child in encountering, for the first time in life, injustice. Peter Pan, the eternal boy who does not remember his parents and feels no guilt, and Captain Hook, the one-handed pirate who insists on refined manners, are reconfigured as conceptual personae through which the challenges facing adjudication, arising from the possibility of generating judicial decisions with the assistance of large language models, can be understood and addressed.
