SUMMARY:Ethics in the Age of AI\, Remote Work\, and Legal Tech
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: Today’s legal workflows are digital\, distributed\, and increasingly AI-assisted\, which raises ethical risks for paralegals.

Participants will explore a simple decision framework to evaluate tools and tasks\, “safe script” language for escalating issues\, and checklists for tasks and AI use. The goal is to empower legal professionals to exercise sound judgment—protecting clients\, safeguarding privilege\, and delivering clean\, defensible work—amid constant change and complexity.\n\nCourse Year: 2026
