Crowell Tracker of Court Rulings on Legal Privilege and Artificial Intelligence Tools

As companies and individuals increasingly embed AI tools in legal practice, courts are grappling with how to treat communications with, and information generated by, these tools. Chief among these questions is whether and in what circumstances attorney-client privilege and work-product protections as they are applied in different jurisdictions extend to AI-generated content or communications with an AI tool.

Two Lawsuits in One: The Growing Risk of Pairing Biometric Tech With Wage-and-Hour Violations

On April 16, 2026, a complaint alleging a putative class and collective action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, alleging that a property management company violated Illinois’ biometric privacy law through the use of its biometric timekeeping software.

The Artificial Intelligence Agenda from Capitol Hill to State Capitals: Where We Are and Where We Are (Probably) Going

The landscape of AI governance and regulation is shifting. Following the release of the White House’s “America’s AI Action Plan” in July 2025 and the President’s signing of related Executive Orders, the White House has emphasized (at least rhetorically) a preference for innovation, adoption, and deregulation. But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy.

This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:
