How AI Is Reshaping Courts, Legal Practice and More: eDiscovery Trends

How AI Is Reshaping Courts

Terrific perspective! In this post, CloudNine discusses a judge’s perspective on how AI Is reshaping courts, legal practice, and the justice system!

The post, titled (wait for it!) How AI Is Reshaping Courts, Legal Practice, and the Justice System (available here), recaps a session from the Masters Conference – Denver, where Judge Maritza Dominguez Braswell laid out a powerful framework for how courts are grappling with AI today. Judges are no longer on the sidelines, they’re gatekeepers, educators, and even users of AI tools. And the questions they’re asking today will shape the law for years to come.

As Sheila Sadaghiani of CloudNine notes: “What made this discussion stand out is that it wasn’t centered on the usual “here’s a new tool” or “you need to catch up” narrative. Instead, it felt grounded in real-life impact and human responsibility. Judge Braswell didn’t talk at us about AI, she walked us through how it’s already reshaping courtroom decisions, legal ethics, and day-to-day operations. She reminded us that it’s up to us, judges, lawyers, and professionals to shape how AI is used, not just react to it. It felt less like hype and more like a thoughtful, honest conversation about what’s actually happening, what’s at stake, and how we move forward with intention.”
