      How Law Firms Appear in AI Search Results: What the Data Shows and What to Do About It (EDU260917)
      Webinar - CLE Pass Eligible
      12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)

      Artificial intelligence (AI) has changed how prospective clients find legal help – and most law firms have no idea how they’re appearing (or not appearing) in AI-generated results. This program presents original research covering how law firms appear across three major AI platforms – Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Google AI Overviews – in nine markets and six practice areas. The findings are counterintuitive, platform-specific, and directly actionable.

      Navigating the AI Fraud Landscape: Financial Security Best Practices for Attorneys (EDU260923)
      Webinar - CLE Pass Eligible
      12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)

      Artificial intelligence is transforming the way businesses operate—but it is also creating new opportunities for fraudsters. Attorneys are increasingly being targeted by sophisticated AI-enhanced scams, including deepfake audio and video impersonations, business email compromise, fraudulent wire transfer requests, and social engineering attacks designed to exploit trust and urgency.

      The Ethical Use of AI in the Law Firm (EDU261008B)
      CBA Law Center
      538 Preston Ave., 3rd Fl.
      Meriden
      United States
      6:00 PM to 8:00 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)

      Generative artificial intelligence has moved from novelty to daily reality in the practice of law—and the ethical exposure has moved with it. Connecticut attorneys are drafting with it, researching with it, and running their front offices on it, often without a clear sense of where the Rules of Professional Conduct draw the lines. This program closes that gap. In two hours, attendees will learn how Connecticut’s existing ethics framework—anchored by Rule 1.1 and its technology-competence comment—applies to generative AI, what ABA Formal Opinion 512 requires, and how the national wave of AI-sanctions cases (including a Connecticut matter) translates into concrete duties. The program is deliberately practical: every segment ties to a specific Rule, every risk is paired with a workflow that manages it, and attendees leave with a sample firm AI policy, a prefiling verification checklist, and a vendor-neutral field guide to the tools lawyers are using.

    • Ethical Consideration When Using AI
      Over the last 70 years, AI usage has greatly shifted from primarily research and government purposes, to now aiding everyday citizens with minor tasks. Without proper regulation and supervision of public access to AI systems, there's been a domino effect resulting in both positive and harmful impacts in our society.

      This seminar will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the ethical considerations involved in developing and deploying artificial intelligence technologies. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into various industries and aspects of our lives, recognizing and addressing the ethical implications is paramount.
    • Using AI to Help Mediators, Attorneys, and Parties- Practical Insights from the Real Practice Systems Coach
      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?
      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.
