GenAI Case Law: A Survey of 50 Judicial Opinions Addressing Use (and Misuse) of GenAI in Court Documents

About this program
This CLE presentation explores judicial opinions issued over the past two years that reference Generative AI, providing real-world examples of how judges, lawyers, pro se litigants, and experts are using these tools—some with cautious ingenuity, and others with adverse consequences. By examining creative use cases alongside instances of misuse that led to admonitions, sanctions, or penalties, we will enhance our awareness of the evolving potential role of Generative AI in legal practice, and discuss how to deploy these technologies ethically and responsibly in legal problem-solving.
This OnDemand CLE program earns 1 hour of Legal Ethics credit in California. It aired April 25, 2025 and features Professor Heidi K. Brown.
