The Inaugural NJSBA AI Institute
Presented in cooperation with LEAP
Artificial intelligence is becoming integral to the practice of law. It is quickly evolving from a new technology that can cut costs and increase efficiency to one that can directly impact the practice by drafting documents and pleadings, assist in litigation or create documents that will be entered into evidence. Because AI is fast-moving and developing rapidly, it will soon be essential for lawyers and judges to have a working knowledge of AI.
Now is the time to add AI to your legal toolbox! This unique seven-part series will provide the information you need to incorporate AI into your practice to better represent your clients, arbitrate or mediate cases and dispense justice. Don’t fall behind! Take individual sessions or the entire series.

Session 4 – Discovery of AI/GAI: Possible Requests and Objections
Thursday, Dec. 19 | 12 – 1:40 p.m.
GAI will invariably become relevant to claims and defenses in litigation. For that reason, discovery will be sought about GAI, both because it may be relevant to a claim or there will be challenges to how it’s used to provide discovery. This session will consider GAI as a subject of discovery.

Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2025 | 12 – 1:40 p.m.
GAI, as with any technology, may be used for good and bad purposes. Those bad purposes may give rise to investigations and prosecutions for criminal activity, as we have seen with deepfakes involving child pornography. This session will examine known or foreseeable GAI-related crimes, the nature of investigations into and prosecution of such crimes, discovery of the fruits of those investigations, and relevant principles under the federal and New Jersey Constitutions.

Wednesday, February 26, 2025 | 12 – 1:40 p.m.
Daubert has now been adopted by the New Jersey Supreme Court in both the civil and criminal context. This raises the question of how expert opinion and GAI-derived evidence will be evaluated under Accutane and Olenowski. This session will address the need for and nature of experts who offer opinions on GAI, the standard for admissibility of GAI-related opinion and evidence, and the roles of judge and jury.

Session 7 – The Ethics of AI/GAI Use by Attorneys
Wednesday, March 12, 2025 | 12 – 1:40 p.m.
GAI’s use by attorneys implicates a number of ethical obligations. These obligations begin with the duty of competence and continue through the Rules of Professional Conduct. This session will examine those rules, how the rules apply to GAI, and suggest measures that might be taken by attorneys to discharge their ethical obligations in the context of GAI.
