AI is coming to litigation. Actually, it’s already here.

Judges are writing AI rules. Protective orders are restricting how lawyers can use AI with discovery. Experts’ use of AI is becoming fair game. Privilege and confidentiality rules are being tested. And lawyers are using AI right now to research cases, analyze massive records, prepare discovery, work with experts, draft briefs and build entirely new kinds of litigation practices.

The problem is that most AI programs for lawyers cover only half of that story.  Either hands on skills or inadequate hands off advice (as in don’t use it).

Bellwether AI Litigator covers both.

On September 17–18, I’m bringing together judges, leading voices on AI and the law, and practicing litigators for a national online summit built around one question:

What does a litigator need to know—and know how to do—right now?

This is not another day of people talking about prompts.

We’ll look at the emerging law governing AI in litigation: privilege, confidentiality, evidence, experts, disclosure, hallucinations, court rules, protective orders, sanctions and the duty of candor.  

And then we’re going to show the work.

Practicing litigators will share their screens and walk through real litigation problems from beginning to end: research, discovery, case analysis, document review, deposition preparation, expert work, briefing, hearings, appeals and more.

Real lawyers. Real litigation problems. Real workflows.

What did AI actually do? Where did it fail? What had to be verified? And where did the lawyer’s judgment remain indispensable?

We’ll also look beyond today’s cases to something I think is just as consequential: What does an AI-native litigation practice look like when you build it from the ground up?

For solos and smaller firms in particular, this may be the most exciting part of the AI story. Capabilities that once required teams of associates, enormous research budgets and institutional infrastructure are becoming accessible to much smaller practices.

But opportunity without judgment is dangerous.

The lawyers who thrive in this transition won’t be the ones who blindly use every new AI tool. They’ll be the lawyers who understand both the power and the limits—who know what the courts are doing, recognize the issues before opposing counsel raises them, and know how to use these tools without surrendering the judgment that makes them lawyers.

That’s why I created Bellwether AI Litigator.

I don’t want you learning about an AI privilege issue for the first time when opposing counsel raises it.

I don’t want you discovering at deposition that you should have asked how an expert used AI.

And I don’t want litigators—particularly solos and smaller firms—watching from the sidelines while the economics and capabilities of litigation change around them.

I want you ahead of it.

Every registrant will also receive the Bellwether Litigator Resource Kit with practical resources covering court AI orders, verification, privilege and confidentiality, protective orders, expert use of AI, disclosure, vendor due diligence, litigation workflows and human-review protocols.

The rules are being written now.

The practices are being built now.

Your opponents are gaining an edge now!

Come be one of the lawyers who gets there first.
