Live Webinar: From Payroll to Pleadings: The Ethics Zone Framework for Deploying AI Across Every Layer of Law Firm Practice
Every law firm is using AI. Very few can explain why the way they're using it is ethically defensible. The problem isn't recklessness. It's that existing guidance treats AI as a single category of risk, offering the same vague caution whether you're automating payroll or drafting a motion for summary judgment. These are not the same activity, they do not carry the same ethical obligations, and they should not be governed by the same policy. This CLE introduces the Ethics Zone Framework,... More Info

Live Webinar: From High-Functioning to Non-Functioning: Addressing Mental Health and Substance Misuse in the Legal Profession
“Maybe I drink more than I should, but it isn’t affecting my life—I’m ‘high-functioning.’”. “I’m fine. I just have a lot on my mind, but it’s nothing I can’t handle on my own.” Sound familiar? Many professionals have heard—or said—something similar. Whether the underlying issue involves substance use, mental health challenges, trauma, or other stress-related factors, people often delay seeking help if they are still able to maintain their personal and professional responsibilities....
