St. Crispin’s Day Preview: Artificial Intelligence & the Criminal Legal System

[By Wes Bryant]

Emily Prokesch will teach us all about artificial intelligence. She will cover the good—Westlaw Precision, Lexis AI, ChatGPT 4.0, Google AI (Gemini)—and the bad—hallucination and bias. And she will give us tips on research, discovery review, and transcriptions to show us how AI can improve our practice.

Emily is the Team Leader of the Discovery and Forensic Support Unit for the New York State Defender Association’s Public Defender Backup Center. She teaches a course at NYU School of Law called Artificial Intelligence & the Criminal Legal System. Emily is the former Forensic Practice Director at The Bronx Defenders, where she represented clients for ten years. Emily is on the faculty of the National Forensic College, and she trains nationally on litigating forensic evidence and the misuse of science and surveillance in the criminal legal system. She has worked in Atlanta both as an attorney at the Georgia Capital Defender and as an adjunct professor at Emory University School of Law.
