From how generative AI is automating complex legal research to the evolving ethics of using AI in a variety of legal contexts, we will explore topics students should consider in order to adapt successfully to an evolving technology-driven legal market (description edited in part by AI:). Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the impact of AI on the legal profession as part of your preparation for an effective transition to law school and the legal profession.
