The National Civil Justice Institute's 2024 Forum for State Appellate Court Judges, held on July 20, 2024, in Nashville, Tennessee, focused on the theme "Artificial Intelligence and the Courts." This annual event, organized by the National Civil Justice Institute, is dedicated to providing state appellate judges with comprehensive educational programs on pressing issues affecting the U.S. civil justice system.

The forum featured a series of panels addressing various aspects of artificial intelligence in the legal context. Topics included an introduction to AI in the courtroom, emerging AI trends and regulations, the application of AI tools like ChatGPT for judges, considerations for AI-generated evidence, ethical implications for the judiciary, and the future role of AI in law. Esteemed speakers such as Prof. Maura R. Grossman, Prof. Yonathan A. Arbel, and Hon. Scott Schlegel contributed their insights to these discussions.

In addition to the panel sessions, the forum provided opportunities for judges to engage in small group discussions, facilitating deeper exploration of the issues presented. The event also offered networking opportunities, allowing participants to connect with peers, legal scholars, and practitioners to share experiences and perspectives on integrating AI into the judicial system.

This forum was specifically designed for state appellate court judges seeking to understand and navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by artificial intelligence in the legal field. By attending, judges gained valuable knowledge and resources to effectively incorporate AI considerations into their judicial practices.
