In this compelling episode of Self-Represented in Family Court, host Tracey Bee —the only pro se family court strategist — dives into a transformative topic: Artificial Intelligence and its potential in the hands of self-represented litigants. Tracey breaks down how AI is being used across legal professions, but more importantly, how you, the pro se litigant, can ethically and effectively leverage AI to empower your case. From drafting motions to organizing evidence and strategizing with clarity, AI is a tool, not a replacement for your own critical thinking and preparation.
