Panel to discuss ‘Generative AI and Access to Justice’ online May 30

American Law Institute Continuing Legal Education will present the webcast “Generative AI and Access to Justice: Progress or Problem?” on Thursday, May 30, from 2 to 3 p.m.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (“Gen AI”) has quickly been embraced for its ability to improve efficiency and creativity. The implications for Gen AI on the legal system—from how to deliver legal services to how to deliver justice—may be just as far-reaching. Since its arrival, however, Gen AI has also become the center of contentious litigation as well as legislative and regulatory scrutiny.

In the legal context, does Gen AI offer features that might improve access to justice, or might it be more of a hindrance? Will it help move civil litigation along more quickly by reducing the time spent on tasks like document review, research, and drafting? Is it truly accessible to those who could most benefit from it? Is it reliable? Does it require a certain level of technological competency to use it properly?

This webcast examines these issues and more as they pertain to the future role of Gen AI in making litigation – and the pursuit of justice – potentially more accessible.

This one-hour webcast will feature a panel of experts, including two sitting and one former judge, as they explore:

• What “access to justice” means

• Why Gen AI can improve access to justice and improve efficiency in litigation

• How Gen AI might hinder access to justice and efficiency

Cost for the webcast is $199.  All registrants will receive downloadable course materials to accompany the program.  To register, visit www.ali-cle.org.
