In three out of four civil cases in state courts, at least one side has no lawyer, and the judges and lawyers inside the system are burning out. We will never hire enough lawyers to close this gap.\n\nEnter artificial intelligence. AI tools can now explain legal concepts in plain language, draft documents, and guide people through procedures that once required years of training. But the same technology fabricates case citations, offers no confidentiality, and could flood overwhelmed courts with new filings, deepening the very crisis it promises to solve.\n\nDrawing on their work leading Michigan Law's AI Law and Policy Clinic, where students build and test AI tools with real courts and legal aid organizations, Bridgette Carr and Vivek Sankaran explore what AI can genuinely fix in the justice system and what it might break.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"150258-21908480@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/150258", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":null, "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Talk","Academic Technology At Michigan","Ai Literacy","Artificial Intelligence","Community Engagement","Community Members","Genai","Law","Rackham","Public Policy","Pre-Law"], "website":"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSfZ3_ManZ67JUVRLzBj3velkycMqnKb8XM7GK3pxoK0Xxd_Fw\/viewform", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University of Michigan Law School", "group_id":"3148", "website":"http:\/\/www.law.umich.edu" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150258_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150258_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150258_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150258_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150258_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150258_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150258_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150258_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150258_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150258_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150258_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150258_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150258_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150258_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150258_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150258_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21908480 } , "149632-21906830": { "datetime_modified":"20260826T140330", "datetime_start":"20261009T173000", "datetime_end":"20261009T200000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-10-09", "date_end":"2026-10-09", "time_start":"17:30:00", "time_end":"20:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Rebuilding Democracy", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Rebuilding Democracy: Osita Nwanevu in conversation with Elizabeth Anderson on the American Crossroads", "event_subtitle":"Osita Nwanevu in conversation with Elizabeth Anderson on the American Crossroads", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"As the country heads into the 2026 midterm elections, the University of Michigan welcomes journalist Osita Nwanevu, contributing editor at The New Republic and columnist at The Guardian, for a public conversation with Elizabeth Anderson, the John Dewey Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy.\n\nThe evening centers on Nwanevu's new book, The Right of the People: Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding, which argues that America's democratic troubles run deeper than any single election. The real problem, Nwanevu contends, lies in institutions that were never designed to let majorities govern, and in an economy that keeps power far from ordinary people.\n\nAnderson, one of the country's most influential political philosophers, brings her own work on democracy, equality, and the workplace to the exchange. Together they take up the questions this election season keeps surfacing. Who really holds power in America? Why do so many people feel unheard, and what would it take to build a democracy worthy of the name?\n\nThe conversation is free and open to students, faculty, and the broader Ann Arbor community, with time for audience questions.\n\nSchedule\n\nFriday, October 9, 2026 at Ross School of Business, Robertson Auditorium \n\n5:30 pm Doors open, light refreshments and Literati book sales in the lobby.\n6:00 pm The program begins, including questions and answers at the end. \n7:30 pm Refreshments and book signing \/ sales in the lobby until 8:00 pm.\n\n\nSponsors and Partners\n\nU-M Department of Philosophy; Energy Club at Ross; Rackham Graduate School; Poverty Solutions; Business+Impact at Ross; Wallace House; Institute for the Humanities; U-M Department of History; U-M Department of English Language & Literature; Ford School of Public Policy; Center for Positive Organizations; Center for Political Studies; U-M Department of Political Science; Michigan Law; the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Program; Science, Technology & Society; Science, Technology & Public Policy at the Ford School; the Erb Institute; Net Impact; and U-M Department of Sociology.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"149632-21906830@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/149632", "building_id":"1005188", "building_name":"Ross School of Business", "campus_maps_id":"547", "room":"TBD", "location_name":"Ross School of Business", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Pre-Law","Psychology","Public Policy","Rackham","Social Impact","Social Sciences","Sociology","Talk","Politics","Faculty","Graduate and Professional Students","Government","Gerald R.
