SUMMARY:AI\, Confidentiality\, UPL\, and the Judgment Calls Nobody Teaches You
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: Ethical problems rarely arrive labeled as ethical problems. They arise when a client asks for advice while the attorney is unavailable\, when confidential information is entered into technology\, when artificial intelligence is used to draft or summarize legal material\, when an attorney asks a paralegal to handle something outside the traditional scope of the role\, or when efficiency conflicts with professional responsibility. Through practical scenarios\, this session examines the increasingly complicated ethical judgment calls experienced paralegals encounter in modern practice.\n\nCourse Year: 2026

SUMMARY:Do Not Slack on Preservation: A Playbook for Modern eDiscovery
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: Adam J. Schwartz\, Esq.\, served as a document review and ESI consultant in Breaking Code Silence v. McNamara\, a two-year litigation involving Slack preservation\, collection\, and review. The case underscores the critical role paralegals and litigation-support professionals play in defensible discovery—from mapping systems and tracking custodians to validating exports\, preserving context\, and identifying production gaps. The matter ultimately resulted in dismissal with prejudice and $15\,342 in monetary sanctions related to delayed Slack production. Using the case as a road map\, this session provides a repeatable workflow for preserving\, collecting\, reviewing\, validating\, producing\, documenting\, and escalating Slack data and other modern ESI.\n\nCourse Year: 2026

Participants will explore how to distinguish allegations from findings\, identify unsupported inferences\, verify AI-generated leads\, and build an evidence ledger showing what the record proves—and what it does not.\n\nCourse Year: 2026
