AI 2035 Initiative
AI 2035 represents a transformative presidential initiative launched by Chicago Bar Association President Judge Nichole C. Patton to proactively prepare the legal profession for the profound changes artificial intelligence will bring to the practice of law and administration of justice. This forward-looking initiative brings together judges, attorneys, legal technologists, and thought leaders to examine how AI will reshape legal research, client service, case management, judicial decision-making, and access to justice over the next decade. By fostering collaboration between the bench and bar, AI 2035 aims to establish best practices, ethical guidelines, and educational frameworks that will ensure the legal profession embraces technological innovation while maintaining its core commitment to justice, equity, and professional excellence.
