Speaker Q&A
Question
I have been a trial attorney for 46 years. What is the application of A.I. for a jury trial?
- SanfordT
Answer
There is not definitive guidance for jury trials. It would depend on how you are using it and if the court has issued guidance. Most courts are issuing their own AI guidelines. At a minimum you need to always adhere to the Rules of Professional Conduct.
