Artificial Intelligence
Sixty-one percent of federal judges are using AI tools. Harvey raised at an eleven billion dollar valuation. Attorneys are getting sanctioned for hallucinated citations they never verified. AI in legal is no longer a conference panel topic -- it is an operational reality with real consequences on both sides. These posts examine how artificial intelligence is moving from experimentation to infrastructure inside law firms, courts, and legal departments. We cover adoption patterns, agentic workflows, judicial expectations, and the reliability failures that have already cost lawyers their credibility and their clients real money. We also track the regulatory landscape as bar associations and courts establish new rules governing AI disclosure, supervision obligations, and competence standards.
The AI Adoption Inflection Point: How Legal Technology Crossed from Experimentation to Infrastructure in 2026
Between 2025 and 2026, generative AI adoption among legal professionals more than doubled — from 31% to 69%. The data marks a true inflection point, but with 54% of firms providing no AI training and 43% lacking any formal policy, the gap between individual enthusiasm and institutional readiness is the defining challenge of legal tech in 2026.

In early 2026, every major legal tech vendor shipped agentic AI -- autonomous systems that plan and execute multi-step legal workflows. This is either the most important shift since cloud eDiscovery, or the most overhyped buzzword since blockchain. Here's what litigation teams actually need to know.
