2:30 PM - 3:30 PM | Holding the Line: Ethics, AI, and Well-Being in a Profession Under Pressure
The legal profession is navigating unprecedented disruption as AI reshapes how legal work gets done, and the unrelenting pace of regulatory and geopolitical change takes a personal toll on lawyers and their teams. This closing general session brings those threads together through the lens of professional responsibility: what are your ethical obligations when supervising AI use; what does the ABA say about client data and privilege in an AI-assisted practice; and how does sustained pressure affect your judgment, your team, and your duties as a leader?
- Understand your ethical obligations as a supervising attorney when AI tools are part of your team's workflow, including what the ABA's formal opinion says and where case law currently stands on privilege.
- Recognize how burnout, cognitive overload, and sustained stress create professional responsibility risk for you and for the colleagues and teams you supervise.
- Leave with a personal and organizational framework for using AI responsibly, maintaining professional judgment under pressure, and building a legal department that is both high-performing and sustainable.
