9:55 a.m. | Tips and Tricks for Using Generative AI to Ethically and Effectively Enhance Your Practice
Generative AI can be a beneficial tool for lawyers, but the use of generative AI comes with risks. This program will cover the fast-developing world of generative AI, provide practical advice on how it can be used by lawyers to enhance productivity without running afoul of ethical rules and privacy concerns, and guidance on how to avoid its risks.
10:25 a.m. | A Focus on Company Culture: Considerations for Incorporating DE&I into Your CCP
A compliance program is a set of internal policies and procedures that help an organization comply with the law. This program is enforced in order to enhance a company’s operations and revenue, and reduce and remedy any breach that may occur. Now, let’s consider a compliance program for DE&I. Examining DE&I through a compliance lens, our panelists will discuss the elements of an effective compliance structure and the importance of not only implementing DE&I within an organization, but also monitoring these processes and procedures. They will also identify strategies to incorporate DE&I policies and practices, and discuss the benefits of compliance and diversity for reputation and organizational performance.

11:05 a.m. | Practical Steps for Improving Your Organization's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Initiatives
Legal management teams recognize that DEIB matters to the health and success of their firms, companies, and client relationships. However, transitioning from good intentions and great ideas to measurable results is a time-consuming and sometimes difficult process that requires strategic planning and diligent execution. Join us for a thoughtful discussion regarding immediate and practical steps that will help your organization progress in the right direction while staying focused on the goal. Our panelists also will share their insights on the Mansfield Certification process and developing the “right” mix of internal policies and trainings.
