Connect with fellow mediators to discuss challenges in your mediations, gain fresh perspectives and refine your approach through group discussion.
TOPIC: “Thinking Like A (Human) Mediator: How Will AI Change The Practice Of Mediation?”
Guest Presenter: Larry Bridgesmith
Based upon the interest in AI discussions during our last Study Group, I have asked Larry Bridgesmith (who many of you know is an expert in this area – bio attached) to share with us his thoughts on AI. Larry will share with us his insight and experience on how it has or may impact our practice and he will share his favorite AI platforms for mediators.
ABA Ethics Opinion 518
In addition, there are numerous articles sharing their interpretation of the ABA’s Opinion on lawyer- mediators, including as we discussed in the last Study Group how it will affect professionals other than lawyers. I will provide an update with examples of prohibited conduct. Thanks.
This session is approved for 1 hour of CME - or - one hour of ethics - or - one hour of general education. Upon completion, you will receive an email from ADRI certifying your participation in the course. You will be responsible for self-reporting your attendance to the AOC.
