IMLA Annual 2026 | Table #7
See the Foundation Behind Government Legal AI and the Benchmark That Backs It
NetDocuments built the governed system of record for public-sector legal work, and published an independent-style benchmark measuring what governed context is actually worth to an AI agent’s accuracy and cost, not just a vendor’s word for it.
Before you trust an AI answer with public records, see the math behind it.

Preserving Institutional Legal Knowledge Across Generations in
Municipal Law Departments | Salt Lake C
TJ Martin, Chief Assistant City Attorney, City of Phoenix
Eric Duncan, Legal Solutions Director, NetDocuments
Municipal law departments are confronting a pivotal moment: four generations working side‑by‑side with differing work styles while satisfying ABA Rules 1.1, 1.3, and 1.4 through competent, diligent, and well‑communicated transitions. There is a growing retirement wave with a loss of undocumented knowledge posing a direct threat to consistent, competent legal representation under Rule 1.1. This presentation will explore how municipal attorneys can maintain ethical competence and continuity under the ABA Model Rules while preparing for inevitable turnover through structured succession planning and modern knowledge‑preservation tools. Structured knowledge‑transfer systems and cross‑training are essential to uphold supervision duties under Rules 5.1 and 5.3 during staff changes. Using a real case study from a large city attorney’s office, the session highlights practical, technology‑supported strategies to safeguard institutional memory and strengthen future operations.
