UH Law Professor Launches Interactive AI Tool to Help Media Cover Supreme Court Showdown on Trade and Executive Authority
The Supreme Court will hear Learning Resources v. Trump tomorrow. The case could reset how much control a president has over trade and economic policy, with global implications for markets, supply chains, and future administrations.
To help newsrooms move fast and get it right, University of Houston Law Professor Seth J. Chandler has released an interactive AI resource built on Google's Gemini via NotebookLM. The tool answers journalist questions using the case record-briefs, filings, and court documents-so coverage can be accurate under tight deadlines.
Why this matters for PR and communications teams
Producers and comms leads need clear, on-record information for scripts, chyrons, and executive talking points. This tool reduces guesswork by grounding answers in the legal documents you'll cite anyway.
It also shortens pitch and prep cycles. You can frame segments, anticipate expert soundbites, and brief spokespeople with confidence.
What the tool offers
- Prebuilt two-minute explainer segments in English and Spanish for immediate use on broadcast or digital.
- Concise summaries of the parties, key issues, and constitutional stakes.
- Interactive Q&A trained on the case record (not general web knowledge) to reduce misinformation risk.
How it fits your workflow today
- Access requires a Gmail login.
- Ask direct questions about the case; get answers anchored to filings and briefs for easy fact checks.
- Drop the two-minute segments into A-blocks, newsletters, or social cutdowns. Use the Spanish version for bilingual markets.
- Prep anchors and guests with clean, document-based notes ahead of oral arguments.
"Tomorrow's oral arguments could have far-reaching implications for American law," Chandler said. "This AI-powered resource gives media producers instant access to accurate, document-based information about the case, helping them produce more informed coverage. It also lets them ask better questions of on-camera human experts about the case."
Timing and availability
The resource is free for all media producers covering the arguments. It will be updated with an oral argument transcript by Wednesday evening.
Who's behind it
Chandler, author of legaled.ai, has been exploring how AI can improve legal education and public understanding. This project shows how law faculty can extend public service at scale by making complex constitutional issues easier to explain on air and online.
