12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ESTThis session equips employment defense attorneys with tactical tools to identify, challenge, and respond to AI-drafted pro se EEOC charges and federal complaints. Attendees will learn how AI is reshaping the volume and surface quality of pro se filings, what structural patterns betray AI-generated charges and complaints, and how to deploy Rule 11 motions, AI disclosure rules, sanctions precedent, and discovery demands to level the litigation field. Attorneys will leave able to spot AI hallmarks at the charge stage, craft targeted position statements, and file dispositive motions that expose the legal deficiencies lurking beneath polished AI-generated language.
Joseph C. O’Keefe 1:10 pm - 2:10 pm ESTThis session equips defense-side employment attorneys with tactical frameworks for managing discovery, building a dispositive motion record, and recalibrating settlement strategy when facing pro se plaintiffs who use AI tools. Attorneys will learn how to identify AI-assisted filings, deploy proportionality objections and protective orders, exploit the gap between AI-generated legal arguments and admissible evidence at summary judgment, and construct revised settlement valuations that account for the persistence premium and inflated costs these plaintiffs create. By the end of this session, attendees will be able to apply concrete, court-tested strategies from sanctions precedent through settlement to AI-assisted prose employment litigation.
