Our Mission & Members

Our Work

With a keen focus on specific policy areas, the consortium will be a place for collaborative review and evaluation of AI technology’s impact on the courts and the legal profession. Courts looking for current guidance will find a host of resources that include policy recommendations, use cases, white papers, and best practices. Additionally, the consortium will offer the latest education on the use of AI in the courts and by the legal profession.

Our Mission

Our mission is to inform and educate the judiciary and other legal professionals about the opportunities and challenges of evolving AI and Generative AI solutions, thereby enabling judges to make informed decisions about adoption and use. Consequently, the partnership will have a significant positive impact on the practice of law, increase access to justice to underserved communities, and position the U.S. courts as the trusted leader on responsible judicial AI adoption across the world.
