Why Attend

Why this 
program matters

Generative AI now underpins civil litigation, but rules around privilege, work product, and discovery remain unsettled. Rulings in cases like Heppner, Morgan, Warner, and Tremblay are redefining how courts handle AI evidence, making fluency essential to avoid malpractice liability.
80%
of law firms use or explored generative AI in 2025, just 48% restrict attorneys to approved tools. The remaining majority faces precisely the confidentiality risks Heppner flagged when refusing to extend attorney-client privilege over AI inputs.
36%
personally use generative AI, while 27% of firms have adopted it institutionally, the highest practice area rate. Consequently, prompts, draft motions, and strategy memos flow into AI systems more frequently here than in any other legal specialty.
52%
more than doubling annually. This transforms client prompts, chat histories, and outputs into potentially discoverable business records, raising the preservation concerns highlighted in In re OpenAI Copyright Infringement Litigation.
90%
of firms sanctioned for AI-hallucinated filings were solos or 2–25 lawyer shops, with 56% involving plaintiffs’ evidence that privilege and verification failures hit civil private practice hardest, not criminal or pro se litigants.
