AI’s Promising Role With Expert Testimony | Esquire Deposition Solutions, LLC

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly used in the preparation and cross-examination of expert witnesses in litigation.
AI can identify inconsistencies in expert reports and testimony and formulate alternative conclusions to challenge expert opinions.
AI techniques like the “Nordstrom method” and “AI shadowboxing” assist in refining expert testimony and preparing witnesses for direct and cross-examination.
AI is used to translate technical jargon into more comprehensible language and to verify scientific claims made by experts.
Legal professionals must be cautious when using AI; errant uses, such as generating false citations, can lead to severe legal repercussions.
Ethical guidance is crucial to ensure AI use in legal proceedings, including preventing the submission of confidential information to AI tools and maintaining transparency about AI assistance.
Careful litigators should remind experts to independently form opinions and document the use of AI tools in their work.
The key takeaway is that AI serves as a powerful tool for litigators but is not yet a replacement for legal expertise in litigation practice.
