AI in Real World Litigation Scenarios: Understanding Litigation-Focused Applications and Addressing Potential Pitfalls

This CLE webinar will illustrate AI's relevant applications in the legal sector with a specific focus on litigation, while also raising awareness about potential problems such as the need for explainability, the "lost in the middle" issues, and the phenomena of "hallucinations." Attendees should walk away with an understanding of AI's growing role in litigation, its strengths, and its limitations to better apply this technology in practice. Attendees should also have actionable knowledge enabling more effective and forward-thinking strategies in their legal practice.

The rapidly evolving legal technology landscape has carved out a significant role for AI in litigation processes, presenting attorneys with new tools for handling cases, enhancing efficiency, and delivering meaningful results. However, the use of these technologies should be weighed against its potential drawbacks.

AI can benefit litigation processes and has a number of potential uses in areas such as discovery, document review, predictive analytics, case outcome analysis, demand letters, deposition analysis, and more.

The panel will dive into practical case studies showcasing how AI is already being used in real world litigation scenarios and the qualitative and quantitative impacts they have had on these cases, and in industries such as consumer warranty, personal injury, insurance, pharmaceutical, and employment.

The panel will then address some of the potential issues in using AI systems and a checklist to look for when evaluating and using such systems. This includes the ability to have some explainability, a phenomenon known as "lost in the middle" in longer context analysis, and the dreaded hallucination effect, and how to mitigate these risks. This segment will highlight the significance of transparency and ensuring proper understanding of AI reasoning for its litigation applications.

Listen as we offer an understanding of AI's growing role in litigation, its strengths, and its limitations and equip attendees with actionable knowledge enabling more effective and forward-thinking strategies in their legal practice.
