In this webinar, we will explore key questions posed by the advent of Artificial Intelligence for legal practice, including: • What key legal principles should drive the responsible use, development, and employment of AI in Law? • Does the law of evidence need to be amended in light of the risks posed by AI-generated evidence? • What are the key areas of convergence and divergence across different jurisdictions’ approaches to AI regulation? Speakers: Nema Milaninia is a partner at King & Spalding LLP. His practice focuses on regulatory compliance and litigation, cross-border investigations, white-collar defense, and public international law litigation. He was previously appointed by President Biden as a senior advisor in the State Department, where he focused on international criminal law and technology policy. Burkhard Schafer is Professor of Computational Legal Theory at Edinburgh Law School. His main field of interest is the interaction between law, science and computer technology from doctrinal, comparative and legal-theoretical perspectives. This research encompasses both the problems that technology and technological change poses to the law – technology law – and the use of technology in the justice system and the legal services industry – legal informatics.

This practical, skills-based workshop for Established Practitioners is an extended version of the course held previously at the Inn, focusing on the key tools of communication – voice and body. With the help of professionally-trained actors, this interactive session will help you develop tools and techniques to: • strengthen vocal range and quality • manage body language and non-verbal signals • control nerves and help manage stress levels • identify and iron out long-established habits • build confidence in your communication Please select one of the two workshops - Group A, for those looking to rebuild confidence on returning to the bar after time away, or Group B, for those keen to break potentially limiting habits developed while practising. The sessions are designed for those who have completed their New Practitioners training, i.e. of 3 years' practice or above, through to silk and beyond. The course fee of £28 (£32 for non-members) includes a sandwich lunch.

This webinar will explore how Artificial Intelligence is changing the practice of law and legal research and writing. The speakers will address issues around navigating legal research, checking citations, and how to approach cases where expert witnesses, opponents and perhaps even judges are using Artificial Intelligence. It will also explore emerging issues around legal liability for AI harms, as exemplified by ongoing litigation relating to chatbots. Speakers: - Matthew Lee, Barrister, Doughty Street Chambers, and founder and author of Natural & Artificial Intelligence in Law Blog. - A member of staff from the Inner Temple Library Chaired by Professor Yvonne McDermott Rees
