Coming up tomorrow - join our Director of AI Innovation, Lisa Feldstein, in a small-group, hands-on workshop focused on practical, conservative use of AI in legal practice.
Because the group will be intentionally small, participants will be able to ask questions, follow along live, and work through setup together in real time.
They’ll cover:
• Choosing appropriate AI tools
• Free vs. paid options
• Practical ways to use AI even if you don't want to share client information
Ideal for lawyers who want to stay current without compromising professional judgment or client confidentiality.
If you’ve been meaning to learn this stuff but wanted a careful, practical starting point — this workshop is for you. Don't miss out!
