You know you’re supposed to have boundaries, but how do you set them? How do you enforce them without upsetting your clients or co-workers? You’d like your work to be more sustainable, but that seems antithetical to the expectation of being “always available” to your firm or clients. This is important because you no longer want to work the way you have been. You’d like your work to support your life.

So, join us for “Better Boundaries to Banish Burnout.” This program teaches you a framework for setting boundaries. Learn tips to clarify your priorities and a simple way to communicate your agreements, which will give you spaciousness, relief, and clarity.

You’ll:

• Know the 3-step system to guide you in setting boundaries based on your values and priorities.
• Learn how to uphold boundaries over time while maintaining positive relationships with clients, colleagues, and opposing counsel that create smoother professional interactions.
• Practice setting internal boundaries to support external ones, increasing your resilience, energy, and capacity.
• … and more!

Artificial intelligence is changing how legal work gets done—but it is not changing how legal careers are built.

As information becomes faster, cheaper, and more accessible, one question matters more than ever: What actually differentiates you?

This program explores the intersection of AI, ethics, and business development—and makes one thing clear: the lawyers who win will not be the ones who rely on technology, but the ones who use it while doubling down on what makes them human.

Attendees will learn:

• How to use emerging technologies efficiently—without creating ethical risk
• How to build the relationships that actually drive opportunity
• How professional networks are formed (and why most lawyers get this wrong)
• Why rainmaking must start earlier than most think
• How technology can strengthen—not replace—authentic connection

Through real-world scenarios, this session also examines the ethical implications of AI and digital communication under the RPCs, including competence, confidentiality, prospective clients, conflicts, marketing, solicitation, unauthorized practice, and trial publicity.

The result is a program that is both practical and direct—giving attorneys the tools to navigate risk, increase visibility, and build sustainable books of business in a profession being reshaped by AI.

Because in a world where answers are everywhere… The most human lawyer wins.
