SUMMARY:Intelligence Tradecraft: Principles for Advanced Investigations
DESCRIPTION:Paralegal Association of Florida\, Inc. – Broward Chapter\nThe scope of modern investigations has grown rapidly over the past decade. Traditional social media and background checks\, surveillance and interviews are no longer the only tools at a professional’s disposal\, yet traditional investigative patterns persist. This session utilizes real world case examples to teach essential principles behind the methodology and technology of geosocial and geospatial investigations\, device forensics\, location tracking\, video and imagery upscaling\, international investigations\, and complex surveillance operations. The session then describes how to leverage these capabilities to maximum effect in a legally robust manner. The audience will learn these advanced investigative solutions are far more accessible and affordable than they believe. Specifically\, the session seeks to educate the attendee on the four main disciplines of private intelligence gathering: Open Source Intelligence\, Geospatial Intelligence\, Signals Intelligence and Human Intelligence. By utilizing a more diverse set of tools\, the end-user can help their organization deliver a more compelling defense against high-value litigation and threats. \nSession Agenda: Intelligence-Tradecraft-Principles-for-Advanced-Investigations.pdf \nLearning Objectives: \n1.) Understand the significance of the four disciplines of private intelligence and the difference between them.\n2.) Learn the basic principles of Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) as well as the three pillars of OSINT:Identity Resolution\, Geographic Resolution and Chronologic Resolution.\n3.) Understand what Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) is and how to utilize it to uncover photos\, videos\, posts and witnesses tied to a specific time and location.\n4.) Understand the principles of video and imagery upscaling and how it is used to enhance dashcam and other types of footage\n5.) Understand what Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) is and how it commonly manifests in the private sector. Cellular forensics\, cell site analysis\, vehicle tracking and wireless network identification are examined.\n6.) Learn the specific capabilities of a forensic examination of a mobile device and the scope of information which can be obtained\, as well as how the investigation works from a logistical and legal standpoint.\n7.) Understand what Human Intelligence (HUMINT) is and how both manned and unmanned surveillance operations function.\n8.) Learn the most common mistakes made during surveillance operations from a tactical standpoint\, and how modern technology and proper techniques reduce this risk.\n9.) Discover the rationale behind utilizing more than one investigator on a surveillance case\, the statistics supporting such cases and an in-depth look at common mistakes and limitations of “one-crew” surveillance so you can avoid these situations.\n10.) What is needed to unmask the identity of anonymized individuals online who may be making threats towards you or your organization and common-sense steps to anonymize yourself online to avoid these potential threats. \nCLE Hours = 1 Technology

SUMMARY:Smarter Deposition Workflows: A Practical AI Guide for Paralegals
DESCRIPTION:Paralegals don’t just support the deposition process. In most firms\, they run it. \nDocument management\, exhibit organization\, transcript review — your desk sits at the center of the entire deposition lifecycle. AI has changed what’s possible at every stage\, and the paralegals who lean in are doing work that used to take a whole team. \nJoin Sierra Van Allen\, Steno’s Legal Solutions Manager and former Certified Paralegal\, for a practical session built around how paralegals can use AI to work smarter at every stage of the deposition process. \nWhat we’ll cover: \nBefore: Research and prep workflows for organizing exhibits\, building witness profiles\, surfacing prior testimony inconsistencies\, and using AI to identify gaps in your attorney’s question set before anyone sits down.\nDuring: When the attorney goes off-script\, AI’s semantic search lets you find the right exhibit in seconds by describing what it is rather than remembering what it’s called.\nAfter: Using AI to cross-reference testimony\, generate summaries and timelines\, and turn a finished transcript into strategic intelligence for motion practice\, witness prep\, and trial. \nWhether you’re new to AI tools or already using them daily\, you’ll leave this session with prompts\, frameworks\, and techniques worth bringing back to your next case. \nSession Agenda: Screenshot-2026-07-13-at-2.19.41-PM.png \nLearning Objectives: \n– Research and prep workflows for organizing exhibits\, building witness profiles\, surfacing prior testimony inconsistencies\, and using AI to identify gaps in your attorney’s question set before anyone sits down.\n– Learn how to use semantic search and more to find the right exhibit in seconds by describing what it is rather than remembering what it’s called.\n– Use AI to cross-reference testimony\, generate summaries and timelines\, and turn a finished transcript into strategic intelligence for motion practice\, witness prep\, and trial. \nCLE Hours = 1 Technology \n
