This year’s symposium is titled “From Policy to Practice: Navigating AI in the Legal Profession.” The Detroit Mercy Law Review welcomes legal professionals, students, academics, scholars, practitioners, and other stakeholders from across the country to discuss topics involving AI and its impact on the law.
The practice of law is undergoing a profound transformation. Imagine a courtroom where predictive algorithms assist attorneys in crafting winning strategies, a boardroom where AI models help navigate complex transactions with precision and creativity, and a classroom where professors use AI to enhance learning and prepare students for the evolving legal landscape. Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant possibility or a temporary technological achievement—it is rapidly reshaping how attorneys conduct research, draft documents, advise clients, and advocate for justice.
AI’s potential is vast, but so too are the ethical, professional, and legal questions it raises. For instance: How will AI reshape the training and education of the next generation of lawyers? How do we maintain client confidentiality in an age of automation? How can lawyers leverage AI without compromising the human judgment and advocacy that are the hallmarks of our profession?
This symposium topic seeks to examine the evolutionary role of AI in the practice of law, exploring not only how lawyers can effectively leverage emerging technologies, but also how to navigate the legal, ethical, and policy implications that accompany their use. By fostering dialogue among leading practitioners and scholars, the Review aims to investigate the future of legal work in an age of automation and innovation. Participants will gain insight into both the practical applications of AI in daily practice and the broader considerations for justice, equity, and the rule of law.
Registration for the symposium is required but is free and open to the public. To register, visit https://law.udmercy.edu/students/law-review/symposium/index.php.
