AI Is Not a Lawyer: The Risks of AI in Legal Decision-Making
To be presented on Wednesday, September 16, 2026

Some non-lawyers are using AI tools to draft contracts, research legal rights, and consider consequential legal decisions, sometimes without consulting a lawyer at all.

This Panitch Academy session explores situations in which lawyers and non-lawyers confront risks arising from the use of AI.
