In 2024, Judge Kevin Newsom, of the U.S. Court of Appeals for Eleventh Circuit, wrote two concurrences suggesting Large Language Models (LLMs) can be a useful tool for legal interpretation, particularly in determining the "ordinary meaning" of words and phrases.

Judge Newsom and his career clerk, Alana Frederick, who worked on both cases, will discuss these concurrences and AI use in the judiciary with Jason Eiseman, the Director of Library Technology and Planning.
