Young Scholars Panel

A practical discussion of some of the more out-of-the-box but immediately useful applications of AI in governance and legal work. Using examples like drafting bills, getting up to speed quickly in unfamiliar areas of law, and building personal software tools with coding agents, this session will show you how to integrate AI models to your own workflow so they become personal, high-leverage tools for legal and policy work.

What if the law was already decided the moment the facts occurred? This talk explores how pairing AI outcome-prediction engines with judge-mimicking writing tools could collapse the gap between facts and verdicts — making litigation less about brilliant lawyering and more about who owns the right to push the button. From forum-shopping with algorithmic panel selection to law clerks quietly checking the website that already wrote their opinion, I’ll examine a near future where the real practice of law looks a lot more like Kalshi than a courtroom.
