Each January, the UW Law School offers a series of free Ethics CLE seminars. This year, I have the pleasure of presenting on GenAI with my Law Library colleague, Kris Turner.
This session will explore the current landscape of generative AI in legal practice, touching on market trends, practical usage of GenAI tools, and key ethical considerations. We’ll discuss both the benefits and potential pitfalls of AI adoption and examine recent guidance from the ABA and the courts. The program will feature a live demonstration of legal and general LLMs, showcasing effective workflow integration and prompting techniques. Attendees will learn about essential considerations for AI implementation, including policy development and best practices for privacy and disclosure. The session will conclude with insights into emerging GenAI trends, how the tools may be further integrated into everyday law practice, and tips on how to stay abreast of new developments in this rapidly changing area of legal technology.
If you’re interested in attending this free, live virtual session or one of the other sessions in the series, you may register below. Participants are eligible to receive up to 3.0 Wisconsin CLE/EPR Credits pending approval by the Wisconsin Board of Bar Examiners.
