Free CLE Webinar for Lawyers – How AI Works for Legal Professionals March 18 12:00 PM ET
About the presentation
“Lawyers spend a great deal of their time shoveling smoke.” Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.’s famous quip wasn’t about navigating a deluge of legal AI hype in 2026, but it could have been.
The right type of generative AI offers attorneys immense benefits, but between “robot lawyers” and sanctions from judges for misuse of AI, it can be hard to navigate.
Attend this webinar to learn:
• A brief history of AI and the law
• How to distinguish between responsible and irresponsible uses of AI
• Real, trustworthy applications of generative AI, including legal research, document review, and contract analysis
• How to apply existing legal ethics requirements to generative AI

* Alta Pro applies directly for approval of its webinars in the following states: CO, GA, IA, IL, IN, KY, MI (Michigan Indigent Defense Commission credit), MN, NC, SC, OH, PA, TN, TX and WI.
In almost all cases, given that our webinars are always approved in the above 14 CLE states, lawyers who are licensed in any other US state will also be able to receive credit for attending our webinars. Certain states, known as reciprocal states, will simply accept the approval from any of the above states, as if the program was approved in their state (i.e., AZ, CA, CT, FL, NJ, NY among others). Other states require that the lawyer submit an application for approval. While we do not apply in every state, our CLE coordinator will assist any attendee with the application process.
