Sensei Pens Column For Above The Law
November 6, 2025
Above the Law recently featured the Sensei article entitled “When The Robotic Gavel Falls: AI In Our Courts And The Lawyer’s Imperative” by Michael Maschke, Sharon Nelson, and John Simek. This article is the latest in a monthly series entitled Cybersecurity: Tips From the Trenches.

AI is no longer just lurking in the background. Judges, clerks, and law firms are using it to draft, summarize, and “streamline.” Some courts are even testing it to predict outcomes or suggest sentencing. The question isn’t whether AI will become part of the justice system — it’s how far we’ll let it go before someone objects on constitutional grounds.
