Public defenders get hundreds of hours of video discovery each year. Yet with today’s caseloads, how many have time to find all the needle-in-the-haystack moments that can effectively hold police accountable? In this era of mass surveillance, it is critical for public defenders to have the necessary tools to quickly analyze this footage in defense of their clients.

In this session, hear how public defenders are using AI tools like JusticeText to find and leverage those critical moments, saving hours and securing better client outcomes in the process.

We will share why our team of ex-Google engineers started building JusticeText as a school project five years ago. We will highlight specific strategies on how public defenders can partner with technologists to build tools that level the playing field and tackle mass incarceration.
