AI Tools & Technology for Legal Aid & Pro Bono

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the legal technology landscape, with new tools and platforms making significant claims about their potential to improve legal practice. For legal aid and pro bono attorneys, these developments raise important questions about which tools are truly useful, how they can be implemented effectively, and what ethical obligations apply. This program will explore the potential uses of AI in legal aid, practical considerations for implementing AI tools, key legal ethics issues implicated by AI use, and how legal aid professionals can build the knowledge and skills needed to use AI responsibly and effectively in their work.
