Artificial Intelligence, Real Attorneys, and the Art of Lawyering
In a constant wave of new AI technologies, how can we be clear-eyed about the intersection of the tools of artificial intelligence with our human work as lawyers? On Friday, April 24, the Center for the Study of Dispute Resolution, in conjunction with the Mizzou Law Journal of Dispute Resolution, is hosting a symposium on Artificial Intelligence, Real Attorneys, and the Art of Lawyering. Panelists will explore opportunities afforded by AI and highlight red flags on the horizon. Please join us for a substantive, reflective conversation that will help us think more deeply and broadly about what it means, as human attorneys, to engage in effective legal teaching, scholarship, and practice in the rapidly changing landscape of AI.
