SUMMARY:Application of Modern Consciousness Movement in Law
DESCRIPTION:Course Materials: Most live webinars include the ability to ask questions during the webinar about the topic\, view slides of the presentation and have access to a recording of the webinar. \n\nDescription: This presentation covers modern feminist consciousness movements\, academic and legal writing\, and the intersection of modern feminist experience with gender-based violence and criminology. The goal is to enhance attendees’ understanding of how the complex system of abuse interacts with racism and crime. An interdisciplinary methodology of feminist psychoanalysis\, law\, and comparative literature challenges traditional modes of viewing the problem of gender-based violence and abuse. Reviewing gender-based violence through this exploratory lens aims to help professionals build a new rhetorical lens through which to advocate for their clients.

SUMMARY:Ethics in the Age of AI\, Remote Work\, and Legal Tech
DESCRIPTION:Course Materials: Most live webinars include the ability to ask questions during the webinar about the topic\, view slides of the presentation and have access to a recording of the webinar. \n\nDescription: Today’s legal workflows are digital\, distributed\, and increasingly AI-assisted\, which raises ethical risks for paralegals. This session aims to demystify the gray areas: confidentiality in remote/hybrid settings\, responsible use of legal technology and cloud tools\, and the fast-moving world of generative AI. We will connect real scenarios to core duties (competence\, confidentiality\, supervision/UPL\, candor\, and billing integrity) and equip attendees with practical guardrails they can use right away. Participants will explore a simple decision framework to evaluate tools and tasks\, “safe script” language for escalating issues\, and checklists for tasks and AI use. The goal is to empower legal professionals to exercise sound judgment—protecting clients\, safeguarding privilege\, and delivering clean\, defensible work—amid constant change and complexity.\n\nCourse Year: 2026
