This webinar would look at judicial guidance on the use of GenAI in court – what these orders look like, trends in content of orders, where these orders have gone wrong, the failed 5th circuit attempt to create a new rule on AI use, interesting excerpts from orders, trackers on judicial guidance, predictions and questions on where this will go in the future, and how to approach teaching new lawyers how to navigate the court system with varying, often conflicting, judicial guidance on the use of AI.
