Congratulations to Stanford Law School’s RegLab and the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment on receiving an inaugural AI in Action Award from the Center for Civic Futures.
The award-winning tool, developed by CDLE and RegLab, uses AI to support one of the most demanding parts of ...the unemployment adjudication process. It helps adjudicators spot gaps in the record and identify the follow-up questions needed to resolve a claim.
The project was recognized in the “Rising AI Pilot” category for its responsible implementation, rigorous evaluation, and practical approach to government innovation.

What does it actually take for democracy to work? Stanford Legal took up the question in the opening episode of the eight part series: The Declaration at 250.
In the first episode we hear from former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and historian David Kennedy. Rice argued that the ...Declaration of Independence marked the end of tyranny, not the birth of democracy. The work that follows, she said, depends on durable institutions: a workable balance among branches of government, an independent judiciary and, often most crucially, a vibrant civil society that can channel protest into law, governance and everyday problem-solving.
Kennedy traced the Declaration’s promise of equality as principle, observed condition, aspiration and enforceable law — and warned about declining trust in institutions and in one another.
