It's essential to stand up and take necessary actions against harassment in the workplace. Employees have the right to feel safe and positive, both mentally and physically, where they work. This can be especially harrowing when the harassment takes place in a judge's chambers. This week's episode of the Tech Savvy Lawyer podcast features Aliza Shatzman, president and founder of the Legal Accountability Project. She joined us today to talk about using technology to hold federal judges accountable for their behavior toward their clerks. Aliza is an attorney and an advocate based in Washington, DC, who writes and speaks about judicial accountability. In March 2022, Aliza submitted written testimony for a House Judiciary Subcommittee hearingabout the lack of workplace protections for judiciary employees, detailing her personal experience with harassment and retaliation by a former DC Superior Court judge. This led Aliza to create The Legal Accountability Project. As President of The Legal Accountability Project, Aliza's mission is to ensure that law clerks have positive clerkship experiences while extending support and resources to those who do not. Through data collection, analysis, programming, and partnerships with law schools and other stakeholders, Aliza is quantifying the scope of harassment, discrimination, and diversity issues in the courts, and using the results to craft effective solutions. Join Aliza and me as we discuss the following three questions and more! 01. What programs are you using to collect, manage, and utilize all this information and how do you use computer engineers to assist you? 02. How did you find the appropriate engineers to assist you?

So it doesn't seem that to the user that it's just a soulless process?

The constant emergence of new companies and technologies makes rapid growth in the legal technology sector. Artificial Intelligence-powered technologies play a vital role in that regard. This week's Tech Savvy Lawyer podcast episode features Nicole Clark, the CEO of Trellis.Law. Nicole is the co-founder of Trellis. Nicole specialized in business litigation and labor and employment matters, representing multinational corporations in high-profile trade secret disputes and complex class-action cases. Nicole's idea for Trellis was born late one night as she was trying to write a complicated motion for summary judgment. She didn't know much about the judge assigned to the case, leaving her unsure of how to structure the document. That's when a colleague let her browse through his old case files. While doing so, she stumbled upon a past ruling by her judge, on her issue. Nichole felt like she had a detailed study guide for a final exam. She won her motion for summary judgment, and everything changed. It quickly became obvious to Nicole that there was a massive opportunity to build a thriving, scalable legal analytics platform, one that would help democratize access to state trial court data. And she wanted to be the one to build it. Thus, the creation of Trellis. Join Nicole and me as we talk about the following three questions and more! Aside from Trellis, what are three AI programs attorneys should be using in their work today and why? What are three things, Trellis does better due to its use of AI than its competition?
