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.

Zoom Meeting - CLE Pass Eligible

This session examines how bias operates today, not through overt exclusion, but inside the ordinary language of legal risk management, and inside the ordinary language of enforcement itself. Drawing on the presenter's consulting work advising corporate general counsel through the current wave of DEI-related enforcement, this session traces six years of employer decision-making, adoption, retrenchment, and litigation, from 2020 through mid-2026, and gives attorneys a working test for telling real legal risk apart from bias dressed as compliance, in either direction. The session uses live, contested litigation as its central case study, including a motion currently pending in federal court that itself rests on a compliance defense, to show how enforcement actions can turn on close legal analysis rather than assumption alone.

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.

The legal system was built around the assumption that both sides have the knowledge, resources, and representation to navigate complex rules and procedures. But, the reality is legal help is financially out of reach for many CT residents who, when their legal rights are at risk, sometimes have to try to navigate a system designed for lawyers on their own. The CT Judicial Branch’s Access to Justice Commission is hosting this half-day, free, conference to bring together people who want to use their legal or professional skills to help others and be a part of implementing change to reduce the barriers and obstacles that stand in the way of meaningful access to courts, the legal system, and justice. At the conference, you will discover resources and tools that you can use to enhance your skills and better serve individuals facing legal matters. You can meet, connect, and share ideas with others in the CT legal community like you – lawyers, judges, and professionals who care about narrowing the access to justice gap. You will hear from inspiring and knowledgeable presenters including (1) Senator Chris Murphy, (2) Chief Justice Raheem Mullins, and (3) Author and Innovator Sateesh Nori. You’ll have an opportunity to learn about various opportunities to do meaningful pro bono or volunteer work.
