Tecnologías avanzadas, como la Inteligencia Artificial (IA), están transformando cómo los profesionales del derecho gestionan las relaciones jurídicas y procesos cotidianos. La Recuperación de Información Jurídica (RIJ), un campo clave dentro de la IA, permitiendo identificar y analizar normas y documentos legales relevantes para las necesidades de los usuarios. Este estudio identifica y sintetiza los principales enfoques, tendencias y avances en la aplicación de la IA a la RIJ. Mediante revisión de investigaciones recientes, se ofrece un resumen de las estrategias empleadas, técnicas de IA utilizadas y áreas emergentes. Se aplicaron métodos de búsqueda sistemática en bases de datos académicas, seleccionando estudios publicados en los últimos quince años. De 3405 artículos identificados inicialmente, 34 fueron seleccionados para un análisis en profundidad tras aplicar criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Los hallazgos revelan un interés en las técnicas de IA para la RIJ, con una tendencia hacia la adopción del Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural (PLN) y el aprendizaje automático para mejorar la relevancia y precisión de las búsquedas, así como la automatización de procesos legales. Este estudio subraya el potencial de la IA en el ámbito jurídico y resalta la necesidad de continuar investigando para abordar los desafíos únicos de la RIJ.
