From Strategy to Action: Building AI Capacity in Legal Aid

Time: 03:30 PM CT | Topic: AI Beginner (TRACK) Speakers: Bridgette Carr, University of Michigan Law School Lisa Colpoys, Lawyers Trust Fund of Illinois Ellen Samuel, Just-Tech, LLC mj Joyce Smith, State Bar of California Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant prospect; it’s reshaping the legal landscape today. At the same time, legal aid organizations face mounting pressure to meet rising client needs with limited resources. AI offers powerful tools to help bridge this gap, but many legal services professionals lack the training, confidence, and support to use it effectively and responsibly. In this session, you’ll learn how four justice communities are building AI capacity from the ground up. Panelists will address common concerns and share how they’re funding training, launching peer learning networks, and supporting hands-on experimentation to help legal aid professionals embrace AI. You’ll hear how they’re driving culture change, aligning AI adoption with core justice values, and building collaborative infrastructure that others can replicate. Whether you’re just starting out or ready to scale, this session offers practical strategies and inspiration to ensure your community isn’t left behind in the AI transformation.
