    Professional Conduct, he offers practical guidance on issues of competence, confidentiality, 
    supervision, bias and transparency, helping lawyers stay compliant while embracing progress.

    Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of:
    -How to evaluate and safely integrate AI tools into legal workflows.
    -The meaning of “technological competence” under modern ethical standards.
    -How to avoid pitfalls such as unauthorized practice of law and overreliance on automation.
     -Best practices for maintaining professional judgment at a data-driven environment 
    Mark C. Palmer, Chief Counsel of the Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism
