Exploring the Litigation Frontier: Using AI for Case Assessment and Initial Pleadings

Description: In this program, lawyers will explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be effectively utilized in the foundational stages of litigation -- from the onset of client engagement through to the drafting of initial pleadings. Through the use of live demonstrations and practical examples, attendees will learn how to use AI to:

Provide preliminary case assessments, offering early insights into potential legal issues and strategies;

• Conduct detailed background research on involved parties;
• Conduct efficient and comprehensive legal research, accessing relevant case law and statutes;
• Use scenario analyses in the development of effective case strategies;
• Engage in effective case planning, including estimating costs and likely resource allocation; and
