Law Practice Today Webinar Series
The CLE Program "Leveraging IT to Improve Productivity and Reduce Risk" will be presented as a Webinar presentation on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, from 12 - 1 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time). The program is approved for 1 hour of dual "distance learning" CLE credit.
We are in the midst of an unprecedented era of innovation in the legal profession, driven by artificial intelligence (AI). This technology is reshaping the profession's workflows, business models, and even firm structures. As you increase your reliance on IT, your cyber and business risks multiply. During our session, we will evaluate the current state of AI adoption and other emerging issues. Additionally, we will delve into a framework for strategically leveraging technology within your practice to enhance productivity and minimize the risks associated with IT. By the end of the session, you will better understand the opportunities and threats related to technology and, most importantly, learn how to encourage your IT team to achieve the desired outcomes.

ZOOM INSTRUCTIONS
1. You can join this meeting with almost any device. For mobile devices, find the Zoom Meetings on the App Store or Google Play Store and pre-install. For a desktop or laptop computer, the link to pre-install is: https://zoom.us/download. You can then leave the meeting and then re-join again at the appointed meeting time. Absent a computer or mobile device, you can just join with a telephone call (audio only), but the best meeting experience by far is to use a computer or iPad, so you can see others and what is being presented.
2. For computer/mobile device connection: If you don’t already have the Meetings app installed, you will be prompted to do a quick installation when you click the meeting link. Once installed, you don’t need to “sign in” or “create an account”, you just need to join the meeting. Only the host of a meeting has to have an account. Once you join with your computer, you will be asked if you want to use the computer audio or dial in by telephone for your audio. You can use computer audio if you have a headset or are on a mobile device or laptop with camera/mic – webcams are encouraged; otherwise, dial in via telephone for your audio, following the on-screen instructions.
3. If you encounter any technical difficulties at all during the meeting, and it is persistent, sometimes it is best just to leave the meeting and then rejoin it. If you encounter any difficulties or have questions as a result of the test above, just contact KBA Office well before the meeting so that we can resolve.
