Kermani LLP at CAALA Vegas: Mastering AI and technology in litigation

The Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA) Convention Las Vegas 2025 brought together more than 3,000 trial lawyers, judges, and innovators to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping modern litigation. Kermani LLP attended this year’s event to learn from national leaders, study new legal technology trends, and strengthen the tools we use to advocate for our clients. Our commitment to innovation drives us to apply the most effective strategies in and out of the courtroom.

Why we attend the CAALA annual convention

The CAALA Convention Las Vegas 2025 is one of the largest gatherings of plaintiff trial lawyers nationwide. With thousands of participants, the event offers an invaluable forum for examining advancements in trial advocacy, litigation support technology, and artificial intelligence in legal practice.

This year’s program highlighted the rapid acceleration of legal technology and the growing expectation that attorneys use these tools responsibly. Attendees explored demonstrations, panel discussions, and hands-on sessions addressing the future of technology in litigation.

For Kermani LLP, attending CAALA Vegas reflects our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement. Learning directly from judges, innovators, and leading trial attorneys keeps our team at the forefront of technology-enhanced trial work.

Key takeaways: The intersection of AI and litigation

The kickoff panel on AI and Litigation Technology underscored how quickly AI tools have evolved. Models such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini now process millions of tokens. This capability allows attorneys to analyze large case files, medical records, and corporate evidence far more efficiently than before.

Panelists Danny Abir, Prateek Shah, Bob Simon, and Judge Traber discussed how AI is changing daily practice. They noted that firms using these tools often handle 20–30 percent more matters because routine tasks move faster. AI also supports collaboration with staff and experts across state lines.

AI adoption is expanding across key areas, including:

• Case intake
• Client communication
• Drafting complaints, answers, and demurrer predictions
• Discovery review and clustering
• Deposition preparation
• Marketing and client outreach

Tools such as Smith AI, EVE Legal, Esquire Tech, Co-counsel, and Harvey AI continue to mature. Early case assessments, pleadings, discovery responses, and document review benefit from significant time savings. Judges at CAALA emphasized the importance of human oversight. Many courts expect attorneys to certify their use of AI in filings.

Revolutionizing the courtroom with new technology

CAALA Vegas demonstrated how advanced technology is transforming courtroom presentations. Tools showcased at the event included holograms, virtual reality reenactments, AI avatars, and real-time AI note-taking platforms.

Remote witness participation is more feasible with holographic technology. Some courts are experimenting with VR headsets that allow judges to virtually “enter” a scene. Law schools are beginning to use hologram boxes to simulate live testimony. Certain courts reportedly use AI-generated video presentations during sentencing. AI avatars can answer questions in multiple languages.

Trial presentation software now offers these new features:

• 3D models of accidents or hazardous conditions
• Interactive timelines showing complex sequences
• High-resolution medical imaging overlays
• Annotated document displays for exhibits

These tools help clarify factual issues in strengthening persuasive storytelling. As courtroom expectations shift toward more visual presentations, technology plays an increasingly important role in delivering clear, precise, and interactive evidence.

How Kermani LLP applies these innovations for our clients

Kermani LLP prioritizes preparation, strategy, and advanced tools in our litigation work. The insights we gained at CAALA Vegas deepen our commitment to integrating responsible AI and modern technology throughout our practice.

We apply these innovations at every stage of a case. AI-assisted review tools help our attorneys analyze medical records, insurance files, and discovery materials more efficiently, allowing us to identify key facts sooner. We also use advanced trial software to present reconstructions, timelines, and exhibits with clarity for judges and juries.

Technology also enhances communication. Secure intake systems and automated organizational tools keep clients informed and streamline tasks such as document management and proof-of-service preparation. AI supports our deposition strategy by generating focused questions and highlighting inconsistencies in witness statements.

Human judgment guides every tool we use. Our attorneys review and verify all AI-assisted outputs to ensure accuracy, ethics, and compliance with judicial standards.

Networking with the nation's top trial lawyers

CAALA Vegas brings together leading trial lawyers, judges, and legal innovators from across the country. The convention allowed our team to engage with professionals who handle catastrophic injury cases, employment disputes, class actions, civil rights matters, and complex tort litigation. These discussions helped us deepen our understanding of how technology continues to reshape trial practice.

We also examined operational metrics such as Extension Request Rate (ERR) and Time on Desk, which help firms identify workflow bottlenecks and improve efficiency. Panelists shared updates on judicial orders that require attorneys to certify their use of AI.
