From the War-Room to the Bench: Navigating AI in the New Legal Frontier
February 19, 2026, 3:30-5:30 p.m. CST
This two-hour program is meant to provide the latest developments in artificial intelligence and how lawyers can use AI responsibly in their law practices.
Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing the world, and the legal profession is no exception. Its rapid adoption is reshaping one’s legal practice that presents both ethical dilemmas and significant litigation risks. On one hand, lawyers must ensure compliance with professional responsibility rules when using AI in their practices. On the other hand, courts are increasingly grappling with AI-driven disputes, ranging from privacy concerns to AI-generated bias. This webinar will examine both sides of the AI legal landscape – how to use generative AI responsibly to increase efficiency for the client while preparing for the litigation trends shaping its future.
Attendees will gain insight into how generative AI is creating both opportunities and challenges and how legal professionals can mitigate risks while leveraging AI’s transformative potential. And AI did not write this program description.
