You think maybe it has something to do with their partisanship, why they don't want to join?
S
55:16speaker_26UNKNOWN
Well, I think that's the reason you're seeing state Supreme Courts moving away from having the ABA act as the gatekeeper for lawyers to be able to sit for

their seat.
J
55:23Jim JordanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Several states are doing that, right? Tennessee, Texas, Florida say, we don't want these guys who can't even tell us that they want our ally to win a war.
Dobbs Said No Right to Abortion. This Judge Found One.
F
12:32Frank DeVitoHOST
But put that aside, these statutes, this reasoning just doesn't prove a constitutional right.
F
12:39Frank DeVitoHOST
The court points to several state Supreme Courts that have discovered such a right in their state constitutions, but these are not grounded in history and tradition.
F
12:49Frank DeVitoHOST
I think you have to point this out.
F
12:50Frank DeVitoHOST
Like, They point to three or four, I think, constitutional cases that say, yes, life of the mother is constitutionally protected abortion.
How Judges Can Use AI Without Losing Human Judgment with Justice Jerod Tufte
J
6:28Jerod TufteGUEST
And so I think it's just having enough of the conceptual knowledge of how the tools work in order to steer them in a way that non-technical people sometimes, they don't understand what's going on behind the hood, so they don't quite see the failure modes.
B
6:40Bridget McCormickHOST
I had the pleasure of hearing Justice Tufte present to a number of judges and justices from other state Supreme Courts and from some of the federal courts at a Rodell Fellowship and talk about what he's built with these tools for his own workflows.
B
6:53Bridget McCormickHOST
And I wonder, would you just describe a little bit how you're using the AI tools for your workflows in your chambers and what benefits you're seeing as a result?
J
7:03Jerod TufteGUEST
Yeah.

I mean, we're seeing lots of early evidence of that.
B
14:09Bridget McCormickHOST
There's that PACER study of the increased filings.
B
14:12Bridget McCormickHOST
And then like you, I'm hearing it anecdotally from my friends on state Supreme Courts who all say they're seeing really an increase in filings, not only from self-represented parties, but like you said, from lawyers as well.
B
14:23Bridget McCormickHOST
Lawyers not only can take cases that they couldn't have made work economically before, but they also are filing more pleadings within each case because it's easier to do that.

A
73:43Ari BermanGUEST
And there were some efforts by Democrats to fight back, most notably in California, but some of those were thrown out by the courts.
A
73:50Ari BermanGUEST
And so there's been this total asymmetry in the process where basically the Supreme Court and Republican-dominated state Supreme Courts have allowed Republicans to gerrymander everywhere.
A
74:02Ari BermanGUEST
But you have the US Supreme Court blocking efforts by Democrats to redistrict.
A
74:08Ari BermanGUEST
And then you also have state Supreme Courts.
A
74:10Ari BermanGUEST
And the crazy thing is what happened in Virginia, where you had a referendum that was passed by the voters to redistrict thrown out by the courts.
