P E E R T O P E E R M A G A Z I N E ยท S U M M E R 2 0 2 5 73 T he legal industry, known for its reliance on precedent and time-tested review, is undergoing a shift in philosophy driven not by changing laws, but by evolving, transformative technologies. Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) is not just automating repetitive tasks; it is redefining how legal professionals access and leverage critical information in real time. From streamlining workflows to unlocking courtroom insights, AI is enabling attorneys, court reporters, and legal technologists to operate with unprecedented efficiency and intelligence. FROM MANUAL TASKS TO STRATEGIC EXECUTION Historically, much of a lawyer's attention was consumed by time-intensive manual work, such as reviewing and summarizing testimony, cross-referencing against other discovery materials, conducting legal research, and identifying key insights. AI adoption empowers modern lawyers to streamline these tasks, surface relevant information more quickly, and make sharper, data- driven decisions in real-time. Today's AI-driven systems and platforms can automatically transcribe legal proceedings, identify key themes and insights, and generate accurate summaries, enabling legal teams to devote more time to higher-value activities, such as developing case strategy and preparing for trial. What sets today's AI solutions apart from early automation tools (and AI models from a few years ago) is their ability to interpret context, tone, and legal relevance. Using natural language processing, voice recognition, and large language models, modern AI can understand complex legal language and help legal professionals capture, comprehend, and apply actionable insights, marking a significant shift from process support to true strategic enablement. CAPTURE: ENHANCED DEPOSITION COVERAGE THROUGH AI-POWERED COURT REPORTING Nowhere is this transformation more apparent than in the evolving world of court reporting. Court reporting professionals must provide accurate, reliable records of legal proceedings; the pressure to deliver quickly and efficiently has never been greater. BY MATAN BARAK
