In Reuters, Shannon Capone Kirk Discusses the Use of AI in Courtrooms

A growing number of judges have issued orders governing how attorneys with cases before them can use AI tools.

In a Reuters article, Shannon Capone Kirk, managing principal and global head of advanced e-discovery and AI strategy, said that the orders fall into several categories. Some seek to educate, while other prohibit the use of AI altogether. Most require disclosure of the use of AI or verification of the information, she said.

The firm’s advanced e-discovery and AI strategy practice group has identified 17 such federal or specialty court orders and one state court order so far. In 2024, Shannon expects “we will see a multitude of these orders coming out, either by specific judges or whole courts.”
