Learn to ethically leverage AI to draft persuasive motions and sharpen research, streamlining your practice while ensuring legal accuracy.

Presenters David Woodin and Amber Wright will share practical workflows and real-world examples showing how AI enhances, rather than automates, the lawyer’s craft.
