Generative AI is revolutionizing the legal industry, offering opportunities to enhance efficiency, profitability, and client services. However, these advancements come with significant risks that legal professionals must navigate carefully. No one wants to be bench-slapped by a judge for using ChatGPT-generated caselaw.
This CLE is designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools to harness the power of AI, while also safeguarding potential pitfalls. You’ll see real-world examples of how attorneys are using AI in their practices, as well as examples of when AI goes wrong.
Join attorney Jordan Turk as she helps you navigate the complexities of AI in law firms and how to protect your practice from the unintended consequences of using this technology. Don’t be scared! AI is set to become the biggest boon to law practices in years, and those who don’t adapt will get left behind.

How to implement AI responsibly in your firm
The ways AI can make you more efficient, profitable, and client-centered
Real-world examples of AI in firms, both good and bad
How to bill for, and make a profit off of, AI
