LAW 6201 - AI and Discovery
Credits: 2
Every contemporary lawsuit and arbitration involves electronically stored information (ESI), and the rise of Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how lawyers engage with that evidence. This course introduces students to the governing legal frameworks—the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, and related evidentiary doctrines—while placing particular emphasis on the operation and application of AI in discovery practice. Students will learn not only the traditional requirements of records retention, litigation holds, spoliation, admissibility, and the use of consultants, special masters, and e-mediation, but also how AI systems function, their strengths and limitations, and the ethical implications of their use. Through practical exercises, students will examine how AI is applied in day-to-day legal practice, including document classification, privilege and responsiveness review, fact investigation, narrative and timeline construction, and the broader management of complex data sets in litigation.
