Chief Justice Monica Márquez has announced the formation of a Legal Technology Advisory Committee for Colorado’s judicial system. The initiative follows a unanimous recommendation from the Standing Committee on the Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct.
The committee will advise attorneys, licensed legal paraprofessionals, other legal professionals, judicial officers, and the public about how generative artificial intelligence (AI) and other advanced technologies affect legal practice, ethics, and the judiciary. Chief Justice Márquez noted that AI is changing many aspects of society and highlighted the need for clear guidance in the legal field.
“As AI evolves, our legal community must have the right tools and knowledge to use its capabilities responsibly,” said Chief Justice Márquez. “The creation of the Legal Technology Advisory Committee will help legal professionals, the judiciary, and litigants keep pace with the rapid AI technology changes that affect our legal system and how people interact with the courts.”
The committee will include 12 appointed members such as judicial officers, court clerks, legal practitioners, and experts in relevant fields. Its work will focus on upholding professional conduct rules by developing materials to maintain integrity in the legal system, support access to justice, protect client confidentiality, foster innovation, and ensure competent service for clients. The group is expected to deliver its first recommendations by October 1, 2026.
