This live CLE program provides attorneys and judges with practical guidance on applying existing professional standards to emerging technologies.

This CLE is approved for 1.0 General CLE credit, including 1.0 Ethics credit.

CLE Details
Artificial intelligence is moving beyond tools that simply generate answers toward agentic AI, systems capable of planning, reasoning through, and carrying out multi-step work. This program gives legal professionals a practical introduction to that next evolution of AI and explores what it means for the practice of law. Attendees will learn how agentic AI differs from traditional and generative AI, where these capabilities can be applied across legal practice, and how lawyers can communicate effectively with increasingly sophisticated AI systems.

What the Session Covers
The session moves from understanding the technology to evaluating it for real-world legal work. It examines prompting techniques designed for agentic systems, practical legal applications, and the characteristics lawyers should consider when selecting AI for high-stakes professional tasks, including the concept of “fiduciary-grade” AI. Throughout the program, the emphasis remains on keeping the lawyer in the loop, using AI to augment professional judgment rather than replace it.

Ethics and Professional Responsibility
Finally, the program addresses the ethical and professional responsibilities that accompany increased AI autonomy. Participants will consider issues such as competence, oversight, supervision, candor, and responsible deployment, leaving with a framework for where AI can assist, where human judgment remains essential, and how the two can work together responsibly in legal practice.
