    AI & Law: Advancing the Practice of Law Ethically
    Artificial intelligence is transforming how lawyers communicate, research, and serve clients. But with innovation comes new ethical challenges. In this thought-provoking presentation, Mark C. Palmer explores how attorneys can harness AI’s potential while maintaining professionalism, client trust, and ethical integrity.

    Drawing from real-world examples and the latest developments in legal technology, Palmer
    examines how GenAI Tools are reshaping law practice.  Through the lens of the Illinois Rules of 
    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

    In this engaging and practical session, Drew Vaughn explores how law firms can harness data, technology, and strategy to attract ideal clients and build sustainable growth. Attendees will gain insights into aligning firm marketing with client expectations, leveraging AI responsibly, and creating measurable, ethical marketing systems that actually work. Drew draws on his experience as both a practicing attorney and a marketing innovator to bridge the gap between traditional legal practice and modern business development. Participants will leave with actionable steps to refine their client acquisition strategy and position their firms for long-term success.
