Customer Support
Residents are increasingly representing themselves in eviction cases, and many are using AI tools to draft their filings. The result is a growing number of motions, defenses, and citations that are hard to evaluate and that can stretch the eviction timeline. This session explains what is driving the trend, how to recognize AI-assisted filings, and what your team can do to keep cases compliant, well-documented, and moving.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, participants will be able to explain why AI-assisted pro se eviction filings are increasing, recognize common signs of AI-generated court documents, and apply documentation, process, and attorney-coordination practices that protect compliance and reduce avoidable delays.
- Describe the trend in self-represented eviction cases and how AI tools are driving it.
- Identify hallmarks of AI-generated filings, such as fabricated citations, boilerplate defenses, and off-jurisdiction arguments.
- Apply documentation and notice practices that make your case hold up against challenges.
- Determine when to escalate to counsel and how to work with attorneys and the courts.
