A collaborative webinar and workshop series from IAALS and the Duke Center on Law & Tech
IAALS and the Duke Center on Law & Tech invite legal professionals, technologists, regulators and more for an exploration of AI's potential to make the future of legal services better for all.
Too many people remain unable to access the services they need to help solve their legal challenges. Emerging technologies like AI offer transformative potential for improving access to legal services, yet their full promise remains hindered by Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL) regulations that have long been amorphous, uncertain, and unevenly applied.
This initiative follows directly upon IAALS’ November 2024 convening, Unlocking Legal Regulation: Regulating AI in the Delivery of Consumer-Facing Legal Services, with a series of targeted webinars and workshops.
The webinars in this series will guide stakeholders through the evolving landscape of direct-to-consumer, AI-driven legal innovation, UPL's impacts on service delivery, and actionable regulatory reforms based on research.
The subsequent workshops in this series will then take on a specific recommendation of the IAALS report related to prosecutorial guidance and no-action letters in order to preserve the integrity function of UPL while providing the clarity and safe harbors that real innovation and democratization in legal services delivery needs.
We hope for the outcome to be a better balance of smarter consumer protection and meaningful innovation that expands access to integral services for all.
