The program will examine practical AI-assisted court workflows, responsible internal use, fabricated citations and AI-generated pleadings, sanctions, deepfakes and synthetic evidence, access to justice, and the institutional implications of AI for the judiciary.
Attendees will hear directly from judges and other leaders working at the intersection of courts and technology, see practical technology demonstrations, and participate in a forward-looking discussion about how courts can engage with AI while protecting fairness, transparency, due process, judicial independence, and public confidence.
