Seminar Description

This session examines how South Carolina Legal Services (SCLS), an LSC-funded nonprofit law firm, is thoughtfully integrating artificial intelligence into daily operations to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and organizational impact. Drawing on real-world experience supported by a 2025 Central Carolina Community Foundation grant, the presenters will discuss how AI is used, from an administrative and IT perspective, to support document drafting, employment and HR matters, budgeting and financial analysis, benefits review, internal communications, and even grant writing—contributing to more than $1 million in new funding secured in a single year. 

The session will also address how AI is embedded in legal practice through tools such as LexisNexis for legal research, as well as emerging IT applications, including workflow automation, data management, cybersecurity considerations, and system integration. Attendees will gain practical insights into responsible AI adoption in a legal services environment, governance considerations for LSC-funded organizations, and the expanding possibilities of AI to learn institutional style, manage large datasets, and support mission-driven legal work.
