"How Judges Actually Decide Cases: An Inside Look from Filing to Final Resolution" | U.S. District Judge Helen C. Adams, Southern District of Iowa | Ron Hedges, Principal of Ronald J. Hedges LLC | former United States Magistrate Judge in the District of NJ

Many litigators understand the formal rules that govern civil procedure, motion practice, and trial, but fewer have a clear picture of how judges actually process cases from the moment a matter is filed through discovery disputes, dispositive motions, pretrial management, and ultimate resolution. In practice, case outcomes are often shaped not only by the substantive law, but by credibility, timing, clarity, procedural choices, the quality of written advocacy, and how effectively counsel help or hinder the court in managing the case.

Connect the Disconnect: Improving Attorney-Judge Understanding in the Courtroom | Judge Jacqueline M. Bluth, Eighth Judicial District Court (State of Nevada)

This program examines common disconnects between lawyers and judges, explores where those frustrations come from on both sides, and offers practical guidance for improving courtroom credibility, communication, professionalism, and overall effectiveness.

"An Ethics Primer for Government Contracts Practitioners: Best Strategies, Compliance, and Professional Responsibility" | Eric Leonard | Co-Chair, Government Contracts at Cozen O'Connor

Government contracts attorneys operate at the intersection of federal regulation, high-stakes procurement, and complex client relationships. In this environment, ethical missteps can carry significant professional, financial, and reputational consequences. This program delivers a focused, practice-oriented examination of the ethics challenges unique to government contracts practice and equips attorneys with the tools necessary to identify risk early, implement preventative strategies, and respond appropriately when issues arise.

"Advanced Prompting for Lawyers: Design, Governance, and Ethical Use of GenAI" | Greg Siskind | Attorney, Siskind Susser, PC. | Founder, Visalaw.ai

This program is a deep dive into advanced prompting strategies for lawyers who already use generative AI and want to apply it in a structured, reliable, and ethically sound way. Rather than focusing on AI tools themselves, the session centers on prompt design as a core professional skill—one that directly affects accuracy, efficiency, and compliance with lawyers’ ethical obligations.

"Lawyer Ethics in the Age of AI: What You Need to Know" | Bruce L. Adelson, Esq. | President & CEO, Federal Compliance Consulting LLC | Former U.S. Department of Justice Senior Trial Attorney | Adjunct Professor of Law, University of Pittsburgh School of Law

Artificial intelligence is not replacing lawyers right now, but it is materially expanding the range of ethical judgments lawyers must make in daily practice. This CLE examines lawyer use of generative AI through the framework set out in ABA Formal Opinion 512, issued July 29, 2024, which provides the ABA’s first formal ethics guidance on lawyers’ use of generative AI tools. The program will focus on how traditional duties under the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct apply when lawyers use AI for drafting, research, discovery, client communications, internal analysis, billing, and law practice management.

"Generative AI and IP Liability: Enforcement Trends, Litigation Updates, and Defense Strategies" | Konrad L. Trope, Esq. | Managing Partner at Trope and Trope Law Group | Faculty at Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University

This webinar provides a forward-looking analysis of intellectual property liability risks arising from generative AI use and development. The program surveys recent enforcement activity, regulatory scrutiny, and major litigation developments affecting copyright, trademark, trade secret, and related IP claims tied to AI systems. It explains how plaintiffs are structuring claims against model developers, enterprise users, and platform providers, and how courts are beginning to assess issues such as training data legality, output-based infringement, and secondary liability.
