Overview
AI Has Changed Discovery Forever: Learn the Rules, Risks, and Best Practices
Chatbot transcripts, AI-drafted documents, and synthetic media are now showing up in discovery, and the rules haven't caught up. Attorneys are missing legal holds on auto-delete tools, fielding objections over prompt histories, and watching colleagues get sanctioned for AI hallucinations that slipped past review.
This course delivers a working framework for AI-era discovery, from identifying and preserving AI-touched ESI under Rules 26, 34, 37, and 45 to defending your review methodology and authenticating what lands in the record, plus a clear-eyed look at the ethical exposure these tools create. Register today!
- Treat AI outputs and synthetic content as discoverable ESI under Rules 26, 34, 37, and 45.
- Preserve AI tool outputs and cloud data before auto-delete settings erase them.
- Track the latest case law on prompt discoverability, AI hallucination sanctions, and ephemeral messaging.
- Navigate structured enterprise data exports and cost-shifting disputes.
- Spot your ethical exposure under the duties of competence, candor, and confidentiality.
