Beyond Automation: How Generative AI Will Make Lawyers Better at Their Jobs
2026-03-12 11:30 - 14:30 (America/Vancouver)
This session will highlight practical use cases, emerging best practices, and governance frameworks required to deploy GenAI responsibly.

Topic:
Beyond Automation: How Generative AI Will Make Lawyers Better at Their Jobs in eDiscovery
Description:
Generative AI is reshaping the practice of law, not by replacing attorneys, but by elevating their capabilities in ways that were previously impossible. In eDiscovery, where the volume, velocity, and variety of data continue to explode, GenAI is emerging as a strategic partner that enhances legal judgment, accelerates insight generation, and strengthens defensibility. This session explores how AI-driven summarization, pattern detection, and context-aware analysis are transforming document review, early case assessment, privilege workflows, and investigations. Attendees will learn how GenAI reduces manual burden while improving accuracy, consistency, and the overall quality of legal work.
But the real story is how GenAI empowers lawyers to operate at a higher level. By surfacing key facts, identifying hidden connections, and providing rapid synthesis of complex data sets, AI enables attorneys to focus on strategy, advocacy, and decision-making rather than administrative tasks. This session will highlight practical use cases, emerging best practices, and the governance frameworks required to deploy GenAI responsibly and defensibly. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how GenAI augments—not replaces—legal expertise, and how forward-thinking teams are already leveraging these tools to deliver faster, smarter, and more client‑aligned outcomes.
