Why AI for Pro Bono: A PBI Pre-Conference Preview

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation technologies are revolutionizing industries around the globe. The legal profession is no different. While there are existing and developing ethical considerations around AI, it remains important for attorneys to invest in learning about emerging technologies and consider their ability to further the impact of their work.

AI’s transformative potential is particularly relevant to pro bono legal services. From automating document review to deploying chatbots for client support, AI can empower pro bono programs to reach more people and provide faster, more efficient services, expanding access to justice.

The PBI AI + Pro Bono Pre-Conference coming up on February 26 in Washington, D.C. offers an in-depth exploration of how AI tools are being implemented to amplify pro bono work by enhancing legal services and increasing clients served. This is a rare chance to engage with experts, hear real-world case studies, see demos of AI technology, and interact with AI tools in a space specifically focused on their application for pro bono legal services and access to justice.

Attendees will participate in hands-on activities, including a mini-hackathon, and detailed discussions designed to expand both knowledge and skills. Some highlights from the Pre-Conference sessions include:

  • Leveraging generative AI for pro bono. Jen Leonard, founder of Creative Lawyers, will teach participants how to use AI to produce solutions that scale impact in pro bono practice. Attendees will get hands-on experience with a generative AI platform, experiment with prompts, and uncover strategies to address routine tasks and complex problems.
  • Introducing AI tools and automation into your pro bono program. Whether you’re new to AI or looking to power up your existing use of AI and technology, the Pre-Conference will feature live, interactive demonstrations illustrating ways to use AI, automations, and logic patterns to improve your workflow and make your pro bono program more efficient, scalable, and impactful.
  • Customizing AI tools to fit your pro bono practice. Your pro bono practice and program have unique needs, and it’s important to customize your tools to best serve clients.
