AI Companion Apps, Civil Discovery, and the California Family Law Client
🗓️ Wednesday, July 1 at 4:00 PM Pacific

California's SB 243 requires companion chatbot platforms to follow suicide prevention protocols and disclose AI interactions to users, but it contains no privilege provision shielding user chat logs from civil discovery. Hossein Berenji, Berenji & Associates, examines what that gap means for family law practitioners, covering the Southern District's ruling in United States v. Heppner, which held that AI-generated materials do not qualify for attorney-client privilege, and how California courts are likely to apply similar reasoning in custody and support proceedings. The program walks through what records platforms retain, when those records become discoverable, and what arguments exist to limit production under the psychotherapist-patient privilege and Code of Civil Procedure section 2030.090. Attendees will leave with a concrete intake protocol for identifying AI chatbot use and advising clients before those communications become a liability.

The Family Law Section is chaired by Jack McMorrow and Ryan Wedeking.

The AI and the Law Section is chaired by Marc Hoag.
