AI in LA Courts: David Slayton on Access to Justice

Can AI make the nation’s largest trial court more accessible, trusted, and just? In this episode, LA Superior Court CEO, David Slayton joins hosts Jen Leonard and Bridget Mary McCormack to unpack how generative AI is already reshaping court services—and why “effective” beats “efficient.”

We explore Court Help on LACourt.gov, change-management tactics that stick, and the delicate balance between moving too slowly (and getting overwhelmed) and too fast (and losing public trust). Practical, candid, and grounded in real operations, this conversation offers a roadmap for legal leaders navigating AI.

Topics covered:

• Court Help and responsible gen-AI design
• Serving self-represented litigants at scale
• Change management in high-trust institutions
• Risks of moving too slow—or too fast—on AI
• Predictive analytics, triage, and future workflows
