      Using AI to Help Mediators, Attorneys, and Parties: Practical Insights from the Real Practice System
      Zoom Meeting - CLE Pass Eligible
      12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)

      Professor John Lande developed the artificially intelligent (AI) Real Practice Systems (RPS) Negotiation and Mediation Coach tool to help (1) attorneys anticipate challenges, strategize, and represent clients, (2) mediators enhance preparation, communication, and decision-making, and (3) disputing parties make better decisions. They can use it before, during, and after negotiation and mediation sessions to gain insights and refine strategies. In this program, Professor Lande will summarize RPS theory, describe how RPS Coach works, and demonstrate the system by inviting people to pose problems from their work. RPS Coach is an example of AI tools that will become increasingly available for dispute resolution practitioners. This program will be relevant to practitioners at every stage of practice. Insights from this program will be applicable to other tools.

      What is AI? (EDU250926)
      Webinar – CLE Pass Eligible
      12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)

      Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think and learn like humans. AI systems can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem solving and decision-making, often using data and algorithms, but require little to no human oversight. With the integration of more technology into our everyday lives, many have expressed concerns surrounding the accessibility and regulation of AI. However, without a proper understanding of AI and its functionality, there's a higher possibility of improper usage of AI and difficulty with the public's assimilation to it. This seminar will provide you with a deeper understanding of foundational concepts and applications of AI and how to navigate AI as an enhancement tool in the legal profession.
