Judgment, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of the Courts

Last November, I wrote a piece called Are We Reading the Same Brief? I had read about “white text” being used to influence automated review in academia and started wondering what would happen when the same idea reached the courts.

For the past several years, I have been writing here about courts, technology, and more recently artificial intelligence, usually because something happened that made me stop and think about where the justice system was headed.

The models found a way out.

A federal court in West Virginia recently issued one of the most interesting AI orders I have seen.

Years ago, I wrote about the four-minute mile.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote that Claude Tag gave the agent a seat.

Did you see last week that Anthropic released a Slack agent they call Claude Tag?

Over the past few months, some of the most interesting AI announcements in law have come from firms trying to build something more than faster drafting tools.

I recently got access to a new legal GenAI tool built on top of real cases.
