Empowering Women Lawyers: Mastering GenAI for Modern Legal Practice

WILS Annual Meeting program seeks to help attendees increase their understanding of GenAI and how it may be an effective tool in lawyering. The program will help lawyers answer how GenAI may help improve their efficiency, productivity and communications. Starting with an overview of the history and basics of certain new AI applications, the program will seek to lead lawyers through a comprehensive examination of how GenAI may be (and is being) used as a tool in litigation, corporate practice, human resources, career development, recruiting, reporting, and professional planning. The day will include an examination of the risks involved in using these applications, specifically addressing the ethical and legal issues raised and how to consider its use in the context of applicable regulations and rules of practice and to set necessary controls (policies and best practice procedures) for your area of practice.

Highlights and Objectives:

The panelists will address how GenAI can advance and empower women in the legal profession and provide practical strategies for doing so while mitigating risk and complying with applicable ethics rules and regulations.
