AI-Powered Transcriptions
JAMS is launching transcription services provided by Prevail™.

AI-Assisted Neutral Search
The JAMS website will now include a new natural language search feature that will allow those who visit the website to use custom conversational queries, preset filters, and keywords to aid in finding and sorting through panelists. The AI-assisted neutral search will include flexible options, such as a search function that can respond to conversational queries like, “Find a neutral with IP arbitration experience in New York.”
AI Rules
Earlier this year, JAMS launched the JAMS Artificial Intelligence Disputes Clause and Rules, the legal industry’s first rules pertaining to AI, which create a clear, predictable framework to address the unique challenges presented by AI. The rules provide specialized requirements for arbitrator candidates, use of a protective order to maintain confidentiality and data integrity, and otherwise streamline the presentation of technical evidence. Additionally, the rules were created to expand the guidelines for domestic arbitration proceedings that involve new technology systems.
Virtual ADR Services
JAMS remains at the forefront of remote and hybrid hearings. Trained virtual moderators, online case management, and updated videoconferencing allow parties to resolve cases from anywhere. JAMS supports a wide range of platforms, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex. More information can be found here.
