| Message from our CEO |
At IAALS, we are continually tackling our biggest challenges in the justice system, and this summer has been no exception. From my World Justice Forum 2025 takeaways on trust, transparency, and global innovation, to our latest report offering a framework for regulating AI in the delivery of consumer-facing legal services, we remain focused on innovating and advancing solutions and charting a clear path forward.
The months ahead bring exciting opportunities to connect. On August 27, we invite judges to join us for Finding Your Center: Mindfulness for Innovative Leaders, session two of our Judicial Innovation and Leadership webinar series. We’re also preparing for a busy fall of national convenings, webinars, and collaborative discussions.
I encourage you to stay engaged—whether you’re reading our latest blogs, catching up on webinar replays, or joining us in person—as we work together to reimagine and rebuild a justice system that works for everyone.
Brittany Kauffman, CEO

| Global Voices for Justice: The World Justice Forum 2025 in Warsaw, Poland, was a gathering of global leaders, jurists, and human rights champions who came together to confront the rising tide of authoritarianism and reverse the global rule of law recession. The event provided a space to share lessons learned and chart a path forward of hope and action. |

| IAALS Charts a Bold Path for AI in Legal Services Regulation: IAALS' new report on regulating AI in the delivery of consumer-facing legal services outlines a clear and actionable framework for how the legal profession can respond to the rise of artificial intelligence tools already being used by the public to navigate legal issues. |
