Last week, the Ukrainian Bar Association (UBA) held an event in Dnipro titled “Artificial Intelligence in Legal Practice: Tools, Cases, and Prospects.” The gathering brought together judges, lawyers, AI developers, and LegalTech enthusiasts to discuss the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the legal profession.
Key Discussion Topics:
- Advantages and Risks of AI: How technology streamlines lawyers’ work while introducing new challenges.
- Automation Tools: Modern solutions already used in Ukraine to optimize legal processes.
- Supreme Court Digitalization: Utilization of the Supreme Court’s Legal Positions Database and the Supreme Observer platform.
- The Line Between Assistance and Replacement: Where AI support ends and whether it can fully replace a lawyer.
Speakers:
- Andriy Ryshchenko, Judge of the Dnipro District Administrative Court, speaker at the SCLA Global Forum.
- Mykhailo Patsan, investor and founder of AlSync Global.
- Roman Chumak, lawyer, managing partner of Ares Law Firm, head of the NGO “Pro Justice.”
Moderator: Andriy Palkin, lawyer and member of the UBA Dnipro Region Branch Council.
Key Conclusion:
AI is not a replacement for lawyers but a powerful tool that automates routine tasks, enables deeper analysis, and allows focus on strategic objectives.
We thank all participants for their active engagement! More discussions on the future of the legal profession are yet to come.
Organizer: All-Ukrainian NGO “Ukrainian Bar Association” with support from a grant by the EU Project “Pravo-Justice,” implemented by Expertise France. The content of the event is the sole responsibility of the UBA and does not necessarily reflect the position of the European Union.
