A pilot program in Los Angeles is using an AI tool called Learned Hand to assist judges without compromising their judgment. The tool is designed to reduce administrative tasks and allow judges to focus on cases that require legal analysis and discretion. The pilot program gives a small group of judicial officers access to Learned Hand’s AI system to test its performance across a case. While this tool may enhance the way judicial officers review and engage with case files and information, it will not compromise the sanctity, independence, and impartiality of judicial decision-making. The system is designed so judges do not need technical training to use it.
