Description:
Artificial intelligence is transforming the legal profession, and mid-level attorneys are uniquely positioned to lead this change. This program, led by Sateesh Nori, Senior Legal Innovation Strategist at Just-Tech, will explore how AI tools—from research assistants to document automation and generative platforms—are reshaping the practice of law. Attendees will learn how to integrate AI responsibly, navigate ethical challenges, and leverage technology to enhance efficiency, client outcomes, and professional growth. Drawing on his experience as a longtime housing rights attorney and legal innovator, Nori will offer practical insights on how lawyers can adapt and thrive as the profession evolves—bridging the gap between tradition and transformation. This program will be guided toward mid-level attorneys but will provide skills and strategies for attorneys at all levels of practice as well!
