The coming wave: How courts can prepare for AI-assisted litigation

Generative AI is expected to reshape the nature and volume of court filings with implications for court operations and access to justice. But is your court 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. Our 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 your court is just beginning to think about this issue or is already seeing early signs of change, this session will help you build a strategy that works for your 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.
