The New York State Bar Association has announced a comprehensive online training program that will address the use of artificial intelligence tools in legal practice, potential biases, and professional responsibilities.

Artificial Intelligence and Legal Practice

Artificial intelligence technologies currently support lawyers' professional work in many areas, such as research platforms, case management tools, and e-discovery systems.

Purpose of the Training Program

The speed at which these tools are being adopted has outpaced the understanding of their limitations and risks, and this program aims to provide lawyers with a practical foundation.

Speakers and Experts

Professor Xuechunzi Bai, a researcher in the Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago, and Luca CM Melchionna, Chair of the NYSBA Business Law Section, will serve as speakers at the event.

Event Details and Participation

The online webinar, which will be held on September 10, 2026, is planned to be free for association members.
