DRI Comp Conversations: Episode 21

Real, Practical Ways Attorneys Are Already Using AI with Karl Seelbach In this episode, Shane Dawson of Dismore and Shohl and Steve Armstrong of Armstrong and Peake sit down with Karl Seelbach, a seasoned Texas defense attorney turned legaltech innovator, to explore how AI is rapidly reshaping the practice of law. Karl breaks down real, practical ways attorneys are already using AI—from drafting discovery and motions to summarizing case files, managing timekeeping, and sharpening deposition strategy. The conversation dives deep into cutting-edge developments like AI-assisted deposition prep, real-time deposition support, and the growing role of non-stenographic depositions amid court reporter shortages. We also explore what’s coming next, including HIPAA-compliant medical record analysis and why it could be a game-changer for workers’ compensation and injury cases. Packed with concrete examples and forward-looking insights, this episode is a must-listen for attorneys and carriers who want to stay competitive as legaltech moves from novelty to necessity.
