SUMMARY:Oklahoma Paralegal Association March Lunch & Learn
DESCRIPTION:Oklahoma Paralegal Association\nWhat a “Blue Whale” of a Case Taught Me About Complex Commercial Litigation. \nIn 2022\, a group of dedicated law enforcement began working on what became a whale of a case. One target moved about 70 tons of marijuana during one 10-day period. Another disguised a sprinter van to look like an Amazon delivery van. In less than a year\, the operation seized over 30 firearms and more than 206\,500 pounds of marijuana—roughly the size of an adult blue whale. And that was just the beginning. \nFormer Federal Prosecutor Wilson McGarry prosecuted this multi-state case\, which required hard work\, dedication\, creativity\, and tenacity. Mr. McGarry learned that the skills required by attorneys and paralegals to lead complex federal investigations and try cases to a federal jury are invaluable in civil or criminal practice and to protecting clients\, both individual and corporate. \nIn high-stakes legal matters\, the best defense truly is an offense that understands and anticipates the next move\, knows what cards to play\, and isn’t afraid of trial. \nLearning objectives: \n1. Provide guidance to paralegals on analyzing evidence and providing litigation support;\n2. Explain how the strategic role of the paralegal in supporting the attorney on a complex case is paramount to a successful outcome;\n3. Explain how the paralegal’s support in case at hand can translate to private practice and other areas of the law. \nCLE HOURS = 1 Substantive

SUMMARY:Introducing Artificial Intelligence into your Law Practice
DESCRIPTION:Alabama Association of Paralegals\, Inc.\nThe practice of law is facing a seismic shift. Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future concept; it’s a present-day reality that is transforming legal practices. As one expert put it\, “AI is the new electricity.” The critical question is no longer if you will use AI\, but how. This CLE is designed for the attorneys and paralegals who understand that the law firms who master AI will replace those who don’t. It does not require any understanding of coding and computer science. It is truly introductory!\nThis is not a theoretical lecture though. This is a hands-on\, practical workshop where you will see AI in action. Through live demonstrations\, you will learn how to: (1) Understand Prompt Engineering: The single most important skill for leveraging AI\, turning you from a casual user into a power user\, (2) Streamline Your Drafting Process: Watch as we generate drafts for motions\, briefs\, estate planning agreements and client letters\, enhancing both efficiency and clarity\, (3) Sharpen Your Trial Preparation: See how AI can assist in preparing for cross-examination\, preparing discovery requests\, crafting more persuasive opening and closing statements \, and creating exhibits\, (4) Brainstorm with an “Einstein-Level Assistant”: Discover how to use AI as a strategic partner to analyze pleadings\, iterate on case theories\, and find new angles.\nHarnessing this power requires navigating the ethical minefield. We will dedicate significant time to the essential guardrails\, teaching you how to: (1) Avoid “AI Hallucinations”: Learn to spot and verify AI-generated content to prevent the submission of false precedents or fabricated case law\, (2) Protect Client Confidentiality: Understand what you must NEVER share with public AI models and the minimum security requirements for any legal tech tool. (3) Augment\, Not Outsource\, Your Thinking: Internalize the most critical takeaway—AI is a tool that requires your legal expertise to create anything of value. \n  \nCLE Hours = 1 Non-Substantive
