AI for Criminal Lawyers

AI can assist lawyers with a range of tasks and help them to be more efficient. But like any tool, it needs to be used properly. If you are practising in Criminal law, in what ways can it help you and your clients – and when should it not be used?

  • the parameters of AI use for highly sensitive material;
  • how AI can be used for trial preparation in criminal trials;
  • how AI can assist in preparing legal documents in the criminal context; and
  • how AI arguments can be used in name suppression applications.

Registrants are invited to submit questions ahead of the webinar, to [email protected]
