Presenters:

  • Lonnie T. Brown Jr., Dean and Elvin E. Overton Distinguished Professor of Law

These differences will be highlighted and explored in a number of important and evolving areas of legal ethics, including the use of artificial intelligence, protecting privileged communications, avoiding assisting in a client’s criminal or fraudulent conduct, and more.

Cost: Free
