The National Center for State Courts will present a webinar on “The Coming Wave: How Courts Can Prepare for AI-Assisted Litigation” Wednesday, July 15, from 1 to 2 p.m. via Zoom.
Generative AI is expected to reshape the nature and volume of court filings with implications for court operations and access to justice. But are courts ready?
This TRI/NCSC AI Policy Consortium for Law & Courts webinar features a panel discussion examining what AI-assisted filings look like in practice, what they mean for court capacity, and what steps courts can take right now to get ahead of the curve. The panelists will move beyond the hype to offer grounded, operational guidance – from measuring baseline filing trends to simplifying processes and investing in the right technology. Whether a court is just beginning to think about this issue or is already seeing early signs of change, this session will help to build a strategy that works for a court and the people it serves.
Following this session, attendees will be able to:
1. Identify key indicators and data points courts can begin tracking today to establish a baseline and monitor trends in AI-assisted filings.
2. Understand the types of AI-assisted court users courts are likely to encounter – from accurate, good-faith filers to vexatious users – and describe recommended responses for each.
3. Apply existing procedural rules and court mechanisms to address problematic AI-assisted filings without creating unnecessary barriers to access to justice.
4. Describe at least three operational strategies - such as triage, process simplification, or technology investment - that courts can implement to build long-term capacity for managing increased filing volume.
5. Describe the data courts should begin collecting to measure AI-assisted filing trends, identify gaps in existing data infrastructure, and use what they learn to inform operational and resource decisions.
Speaking at the webinar will be:
• Judge Jennifer Bailey (retired), 11th Judicial Circuit Court, Florida.
• Zach Zarnow, executive director, Pro Bono Net.
• Moderator Rabihah Butler, manager, Enterprise Content - Risk, Fraud and Government, Thomson Reuters Institute.
