Battles Won, Others Abandoned: 2024 Brought Big Change to the Judiciary
A special message from American Bar Association President William R. Bay:
“Our country is turning 249 years old in 2025, and the American Bar Association has been part of it for 147 years. Throughout that time, we have seen many changes as we strive to be a stronger nation and association.
The ABA has a wonderful tradition and history, but we are grateful that we are an association and profession that has embraced change. Unlike when the ABA was founded, we now welcome all who wish to become part of the profession. One thing has not changed. The ABA is committed to the rule of law and the cause of justice. This remains our goal tomorrow and for 100 years from tomorrow. As ABA president, I have emphasized the challenges we face as a profession and reiterated that the biggest challenge is the challenge of change. But change will not alter our core values and beliefs. Instead, it will allow us to extend our reach.

The concept of AI-driven litigation prediction is not entirely new—Artificial Lawyer has been reporting on similar applications since 2016. However, Theo AI’s innovative use of genAI technology marks a significant departure from earlier approaches, potentially setting a new benchmark in the field of legal technology.
