"Artificial intelligence is now used in courtrooms for legal research, decision support, document automation, e-discovery, contract analysis, and even predicting case outcomes."
"Lawyers face a growing challenge with the surge of body-worn camera footage. Currently, 79% of local police departments in the US are utilizing body-worn cameras, and as many as 95% of federal law enforcement wear cameras. AI now helps rapidly analyze what can be hundreds of hours of video footage from a single case, providing valuable support for both the prosecution and the defense."
"For defense attorneys serving juvenile clients, AI-based video analysis tools are particularly crucial. By reviewing video evidence quickly, lawyers can argue for a client's release on the same day versus what is often days. "For vulnerable youth already struggling with arrest, every hour of freedom matters," said Brian Anderson, a criminal defense attorney with his own practice, Anderson Law LLC. Anderson said his use of AI saves up to 94% of evidence review time for his juvenile clients age 12-18. Anderson can now prepare for a bail hearing in half an hour versus days. The time saved by using AI also results in thousands of dollars in time saved."
Artificial intelligence now supports many legal functions including research, decision support, document automation, e-discovery, contract analysis, and outcome prediction. The proliferation of body-worn cameras has created hundreds of hours of footage per case, with 79% of local and up to 95% of federal law enforcement using cameras. AI tools rapidly transcribe, index, and analyze video evidence, turning overwhelming footage into searchable information. For juvenile defense, AI can cut evidence review by up to 94%, allow same-day bail hearings, reduce detention time for vulnerable youth, and save substantial attorney hours and costs. Rev is one legal-tech tool used for transcription and indexing.
