I recently attended some excellent CPDs on AI in litigation. These focused on introducing AI-generated evidence at trial, as well as cross-examination and advocacy techniques surrounding AI-generated evidence.
While case law will be developing, as it always does, the Judges noted that the Canadian Evidence Act already applies to AI-generated evidence, and to a large degree, this is simply about application.
This leads me to the title of my Blog. Yes, the nature of AI evidence is new, but you know what? We didn’t have Facebook, texting, or email when I started practicing law, and we figured out how to introduce those into evidence.
It always comes back to the basics: understand the evidence you’re submitting, understand the questions you need to ask to submit the evidence, and explain the evidence to the Judge in an approachable way.
Our firm is up for the task. Is your lawyer?
