How judges are using GenAI
As generative AI tools become increasingly prevalent across professional fields, judges and court systems are beginning to explore how this technology can support — and potentially transform — judicial work. This webinar, based on original interview research conducted with state and federal judges across the U.S., explores how early-adopting judges are currently using GenAI, what benefits they are experiencing, and what risks they are actively working to mitigate.
Join our panel of experts as they offer practical, real-world insights on GenAI adoption for judicial officers and other court leaders and practitioners.
Following this session, attendees will be able to:
- Describe how Gen AI is being used by judges.
- Identify risks and benefits of GenAI use by judges.
- Implement practical strategies for the secure and ethical use of GenAI tools in judicial tasks.
Moderator:
- Rabihah Butler, manager, Enterprise Content - Risk, Fraud, and Government, Thomson Reuters Institute
Panelists:
- Magistrate Judge Maritza Braswell, U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado
- Amy Cyphert, associate professor of law, West Virginia University
- Jennifer Elek, principal court research associate, NCSC

Learn foundational best practices for use of GenAI with an emphasis on the rigor of application for these practices being proportional to the intended use and the risk level associated with that use.
Judicial use of generative AI: Lessons learned
Key findings from interviews with U.S. judges using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) models that include: GenAI can support essential work of judges as human decision makers; early adopters are using GenAI to save time and improve access; and early adopters are mindful of the risks and use GenAI in ways that eliminate or mitigate risks.
