Transforming state courts: Harnessing AI for operational efficiency and access to justice

Live Event Date: Sep 24, 2025

Live Event Time: 11 AM CT

Hosted by Thomson Reuters

As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies become increasingly relevant to court operations, state courts are navigating both transformative opportunities and pressing challenges. From projected time savings and efficiency gains to the complexities of adoption, what changes can court professionals expect as AI reshapes the justice system?

Drawing from the 2025 Staffing, Operations and Technology survey by the Thomson Reuters Institute and the National Center for State Courts AI Policy Consortium for Law and Courts, this webinar will illuminate how AI is beginning to influence court staffing, operations, and technology—and how courts can strategically position themselves for future success.

The potential benefits and risks associated with AI in court operations, including data on anticipated time savings of up to 8.8 hours per week per employee within five years
Practical strategies for courts to integrate GenAI and agentic AI technologies—like those in CoCounsel Legal—while maintaining accuracy, transparency, and public trust
How responsible innovation and collaboration can help courts address staffing shortages, reduce operational inefficiencies, and improve access to justice in a rapidly evolving legal landscape

Join us to explore how courts can leverage professional-grade AI solutions to meet today’s challenges and prepare for tomorrow’s opportunities.
