Smart Lawyering with AI: Efficiency, Ethics and Experiences
In this engaging roundtable, experts, experienced practitioners, and thought leaders will discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the legal practice, particularly for solos and small firms. Topics include: (1) AI’s impact on online search/SEO and ways lawyers can increase their visibility, (2) business innovation and development via AI—current uses and emerging trends, (3) ethical AI usage based on a classification framework—always safe, sometimes appropriate, and never acceptable, (4) compliance with New Jersey’s Rules of Professional Conduct, (5) liability prevention strategies, and (6) practical key takeaways to help integrate AI effectively and responsibly in your practice.
