Recap · Masters Conference Denver · 2023
Right Discovery Staff Writer
"AI Stories from the Front Line" paired Sloane Dryer (Holland & Hart) with Pete Feinberg(Consilio) to document deployments that survived privilege review, not PowerPoint. Dryer's blunt opener still echoes: "If you're not using AI yet, you're already behind."
Workflows that stuck
- Privilege logs: GenAI drafted entries for an 80k-document privilege sprint—over half accepted verbatim once counsel tuned prompts and QC loops.
- Relevance coding: A modeled stack hit 96% agreement with gold-standard reviewers while surfacing rationale strings attorneys could audit in seconds.
- Email hygiene:SimplyFile-style Outlook extensions learned from individual filing habits, reclaiming hours weekly without aspirational "inbox zero" theater.
- Meeting intelligence: Homegrown pipelines on Claude/OpenAI baselines beat consumer Zoom summaries on fidelity, redaction, and privacy guardrails.
Caveats worth the airtime
Spreadsheets, chat exports, and other semi-structured payloads still humble models; hallucination risks demand privilege-aware reviewers and lineage tracking; "context-rich" prompting—audience, tone, exemplars—often beats brute-force token dumps.
"AI isn't just changing how we practice law—it's changing what's possible."
