## Resource

California’s courts are testing AI tools that act as virtual clerks, drafting orders and conducting legal research—first in civil cases, with potential expansion into criminal proceedings. LA and Riverside counties are piloting systems from Learned Hand, with attorneys using them for research memos. While proponents tout efficiency gains and backlog reduction, critics warn AI risks eroding trust, especially in complex cases involving bias and human judgment. Nearly 90 AI-related errors have already occurred since August 2024, prompting cautious evaluation as courts weigh the balance between innovation and justice.
