The Impact of Generative AI for Access to Justice (Hot Topic)

The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) reports that 92 percent of the civil legal problems faced by low-income Americans are un- or under-served, and 53 percent of those Americans don’t believe they could find an affordable lawyer. Despite noble missions, passionate donor bases, and committed law school clinic participant staff, nonprofit legal organizations still often struggle to put a dent in their backlogs. At this present time—when expertly-developed legal AI is already handling substantive legal tasks to dramatically increase the efficiency of law firms and legal departments across the country—we need to consider the real-world impact of this generative AI for A2J. But legal AI is not alone. Generic AI tools like ChatGPT continue to enjoy attention from the legal community.

Join Casetext, the California Innocence Project, and LexisNexis for a ranging conversation of the capabilities of today’s most advanced legal AI technology, and actual use cases for applying this technology in the context of nonprofit legal organizations.

Target Audience:

This program will benefit anyone interested in learning more about generative AI and its use in both generic tools like ChatGPT and more advanced legal AI, as well as anyone interested in how generative AI can be used for access to justice initiatives.
