‘Judge’s Hands-On Guide to Using AI’ offered online

The National Center for State Courts will present a webinar on “From Theory to Practice: A Judge’s Hands-On Guide to Using AI” Wednesday, June 17, from 1 to 2 p.m. via Zoom.

The conversation around AI in the courts has evolved rapidly, but many judges are still asking how to move from understanding AI conceptually to using it effectively in practice. This TRI/ NCSC AI Policy Consortium for Law & Courts webinar is designed to bridge that gap.

Drawing on the real-world experience of a sitting judge and a leading AI and law scholar, the session will provide concrete, practical guidance that judicial officers can apply immediately. Panelists will share strategies tailored to the realities of judicial work, including ways to use AI confidently, responsibly, and securely.

Following this session, attendees will be able to:

1. Identify at least five specific, low-risk AI applications that judges can safely incorporate into their work right away.

2. Explain how to configure privacy settings on common AI tools to prevent user data from being used for model training.

3. Discuss practical tools for uploading briefs and generating audio summaries of legal arguments.

4. Apply a practical framework for evaluating new AI tools for judicial use, balancing efficiency with ethical and security considerations.
