CLE WEBINAR

AI Trends, Practical Uses and Policies for the Modern Law Firm

Thursday, February 22, 2024

1 PM CT • 11 AM PT • 2 PM ET

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is quickly changing the legal landscape. The once-distant sci-fi fever dream is now a tangible reality, and it is set to change the way we practice law. If you’ve been wondering how attorneys are actually using AI, and the types of policies being drafted around firms who are using it, this CLE is for you.

AI is being talked about a lot in legal circles, but few attorneys are being given actual examples of the tools that can - and will - directly impact their practices. What’s more, some of these tools already exist within your current technology setup; you just have to enable them.

Join experts Carolyn Elefant, attorney and founder of MyShingle.com, and attorney Jordan Turk, as they discuss what AI actually looks like in the legal realm, as well as pitfalls to avoid as you navigate this new legal landscape. This CLE will give you tangible, actionable items you can take with you and implement into your practice.

In this free CLE webinar, you’ll:

Important AI trends to consider in the legal field, as found in Smokeball’s State of Law Report
How legal professionals are harnessing AI in their firms
Best practices for actually utilizing AI in your practice and tech stack
Example policies and procedures surrounding proper use of AI

Duration: 60 minutes

This webinar is eligible for CLE credit in multiple jurisdictions.*
