The bimonthly series, which will feature guest speakers from industry, academia, journalism and other arenas, will explore how this technology might change the training and developmental needs of lawyers as their practice evolves, as well as the ways we conduct our own day-to-day work and activities.
Learning Objectives
- To understand the impact of Gen AI and other technological innovations on the legal profession.
- To understand how to develop new trainings and other PD activities that help attorneys improve their practice through the informed application of Gen AI and other technological innovations.
