At this year’s Annual Meeting, Sunday programming brings timely, high-impact conversations to the forefront—pairing practical insight with big-picture legal analysis on two of the most consequential forces shaping the profession today.
AI in Chambers and Legal Practice
Generative AI is rapidly reshaping judicial chambers and legal practice. This program brings together a distinguished panel — Chief Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby, Judge Xavier Rodriguez, Jeffrey Huelskamp, and Ed Walters — to explore how these tools are being used in real time. Through live demonstrations and practical discussion, the panel will address both opportunity and responsibility: research and drafting efficiencies, case management applications, ethical considerations, and professional obligations.
This conversation builds on ALI’s ongoing work in this space, including Principles of the Law, Civil Liability for Artificial Intelligence, which seeks to provide clear, balanced guidance on liability frameworks as AI technologies continue to evolve. Together, the program and the project reflect ALI’s commitment to helping the legal community navigate innovation with rigor and responsibility.
Divided Argument Podcast: Executive Authority and the Supreme Court
William Baude of the University of Chicago Law School and Daniel Epps of Washington University School of Law will record an episode of their podcast, Divided Argument, featuring guest Pamela S. Karlan of Stanford Law School. The conversation will explore the evolving relationship between executive authority and the Supreme Court. Attendees will gain insight from two leading constitutional scholars in an engaging, accessible format.
Together, these Sunday programs set the tone for a Meeting grounded in both immediacy and depth—bringing members into conversation with the ideas and developments shaping the future of the law.
