SUMMARY:AI Essentials: Practical Tools to Elevate Legal Work
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: The legal industry is experiencing unprecedented changes due to AI and automation. Many professionals feel pressure to keep up\, or risk falling behind in their roles. One of the most effective ways paralegals and administrative staff can demonstrate their value is by helping reduce time spent on low-value tasks and shifting focus to higher –value work. Having a basic understanding of how AI works\, exploring rea-world use cases\, and knowing when to apply these tools can help you contribute more effectively within your organization. In this session\, we will cover AI essentials and include live demonstrations of select legal tools. \nDisclaimer: NALA recognizes this course as non-substantive CLE. However\, if your state requires technology CLE\, we can adjust this course to reflect technology CLE upon request. Please contact us at elearning@nala.org to request an update for your CLE requirements.

SUMMARY:Facial Recognition Technology: A Double-Edged Sword in Criminal Justice
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: Facial recognition technology is rapidly becoming a tool of choice for law enforcement agencies\, yet its deployment often lacks transparency\, oversight\, and legislative safeguards. This presentation explores how the use of facial recognition has led to wrongful identifications\, arrests\, charges\, and even convictions that are disproportionately affecting marginalized communities. Drawing on police gaps\, real-world cases\, and current research\, this session highlights the urgent need for accountability and regulation in the use of biometric surveillance. Attendees will gain insights into the ethical\, legal\, and social implications of this technology\, and examine why unchecked facial recognition poses a serious threat to civil liberties and justice. The session aims to foster dialogue on the urgent need for legislative reform and judicial scrutiny to prevent misuse and uphold justice.
