    Every legal AI tool demos well. The problems show up later: output no one can verify against the record, confidentiality terms nobody read closely, and a billing question nobody asked. This session covers what to pressure-test before you sign with any vendor:

    1. Verification: Can every output be traced to the exact page of the record it came from?
    2. Confidentiality: Is your client data used for training, and what happens to it when you leave?
    3. Billing: When AI does help with the work, who keeps the savings?
    4. The pilot: How to test a tool on closed matters where you already know the answers.

    Attendees will get access to The AI Evaluation Guide for Law Firms, which includes the full seven-area framework, a 4–8 week pilot plan, and a vendor scorecard.

    Jay Sarmaz is the CEO of Turbo Law. He has spent more than a decade building AI, machine learning, and analytics products, much of it in legal technology, including as Vice President of Data and AI at Case Status.

    Artificial intelligence is moving from experimentation to everyday legal practice. But where is it actually proving useful?

    This session brings together practical insights from DRI’s 2026 AI Skills Lab to examine how lawyers are putting AI to work across different areas of practice. In one hour, presenters will explore four applications of AI, including legal research and matter analysis, deposition preparation and defense, marketing and client development, and data-driven case analysis.

    Through practical examples drawn from the Skills Lab, attendees will see where AI can add meaningful value, where its limitations and risks require careful judgment, and what lawyers should consider when incorporating these tools into their own workflows.

    Whether you attended the AI Skills Lab or missed the Annual Meeting, this program offers a concise look at how AI is being applied to the work lawyers are doing today.
