Assets: I want to discuss how our contribution as legal assistants and paralegals is important.

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

SUMMARY:AI in the Law Office: Competence and Confidentiality in the Era of Generative Tools
DESCRIPTION:Paralegal Association of Florida\, Inc.\nGenerative AI has moved quickly from novelty to daily fixture in legal work\, and paralegals are often the first to use it for research\, drafting\, summarization\, and document review. That front-line role carries real responsibility. This session gives paralegals a practical grounding in how these tools work\, where they fail\, and what professional duties govern their use. We will look at the well-documented risk of fabricated citations and unreliable output\, the confidentiality concerns raised when client information is entered into third-party systems\, and the supervision and verification expectations that flow from the Florida Bar’s ethics guidance on generative AI. The goal is to help paralegals use these tools confidently while protecting the client\, the supervising attorney\, and their own professional standing. \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Spot common AI failure modes and verify before work product leaves the office;\n2. Assess confidentiality risks of entering client data into AI tools; and\n3. Understand supervision and competence duties governing AI-assisted work under Florida Bar guidance \nSession Agenda: NALA-CLE-Approval-Request-Form-Moriarty-AI.pdf \nCLE Hours = 1 Technology \n
