Legal Research and Writing for Students and New Attorneys in the AI era (Ethics)

What do law students know about AI coming out of law school? What challenges and opportunities to these students pose/provide for new employers? A panel of academics and legal aid professionals will discuss what law students are learning about AI while in law school, and how these same students pose challenges to new employers, but also bring opportunities to new employers as they enter the workforce.

  • Upon completion, particpants will be able to understand what skills law students will have upon entering their career.
  • Upon completion, particpants will be able to plan for how to better integrate new lawyers into their worksite.
