By the end of this course you all will be made aware of advanced online legal research methods to harness your potential as a researcher and to maintain a standard of competency in the legal profession.
After completing this course, you will be able to:

Speakers And Agenda:
  • I. Record Issues in the Digital Era. (9:00 a.m. – 9:45 a.m.)
    Preserving an accurate record is an essential prerequisite to a thorough appeal of any case. Staff from the Eighth District Court of Appeals, the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Court’s Office and the Cuyahoga County Court Reporters along with Judge Brendan Sheehan from the Cuyahoga County Court of Court of Common Pleas will take a deep dive into the best practices for ensuring that the record is properly maintained and secured for appellate review.

  • II. The Art of Persuasion. (9:45-10:30 a.m.)
    Appellate advocacy is hard. Courts tend to affirm, but we ask them to reverse. How can we do that? How can we persuade Judges to rule the other way? From Aristotle to Scalia, advice on persuading judges abounds. Yet all writers tend to agree on one thing: Persuasion is an art, not a science. In this segment, we'll try to refine our skills at the art of persuasion, while also gaining some practical, battle tested techniques to do so.
    • Featured Moderator: Judge Eileen T. Gallagher, Eighth District Court of Appeals
    • Featured Speaker: · Professor Doron Kalir, CSU Law
  • BREAK: 10:30-10:45 a.m.
  • III. Oral Argument: Dos, Don’ts and Persuasion Pointers (10:45 - 11:15 a.m.)

Former Ohio Supreme Court Justices Michael Donnelly and Melody Stewart will share their insights and experience on what they found to be effective and persuasive during their years on the bench. Guided conversation led by Judge Lisa B. Forbes of the Eighth District Court of Appeals.

    • Featured Speakers:· Hon. Michael Donnelly, Hon. Melody Stewart (ret.)
  • IV. Generative AI 101 for Courts: Hallucinations, Deepfakes, and the Record (11:15 - 12:15 p.m.)
    This engaging 60-minute session—moderated by Judge Mary J. Boyle—will map the AI landscape for appellate and trial lawyers, from how generative models work to where they fail, with highlights from recent ethics opinions addressing the use of generative AI in the practice of law. The distinguished panel will demystify AI “hallucinations” (why large language models fabricate outputs), review real-world sanctions and litigation missteps (including the surge of AI use among pro se litigants), and survey emerging court rules that require AI-use certifications. This AI session will also explore the growing problem of AI deepfakes and how they affect all lawyers and courts. The discussion will include real-life examples of AI deepfakes and their consequences. Attendees will come away with concrete takeaways to prevent, detect, and respond to AI hallucinations and deepfakes.
    • Featured Moderator: Judge Mary J. Boyle, Eighth District Court of Appeals
    • Featured Speakers: Professor Mehtab Khan, CSU Law, Steve Delchin, Senior Attorney, Squire Patton Boggs, Thomas P. Ryan, Ryan Injury Attorneys, LLP

    • Featured Moderator: Judge Michael J. Ryan, Eighth District Court of Appeals
    • Featured Speakers: Judge Deena Calabrese, Eighth District Court of Appeals, Judge Scott Lynch, Eleventh District Court of Appeals

November 18: Birthright Citizenship: A Candid Assessment of Wong Kim Ark and Its Modern-Day Implications

Wong Kim Ark was born in San Francisco in 1873 to parents who had emigrated to the United States from China. In 1894, he took a trip to China. When he returned to San Francisco a year later, he was denied reentry, as the authorities invoked the Chinese Exclusion Act. 
Wong argued that he could not be denied admission because he was born in this country and therefore was an American citizen. The Supreme Court ruled in Wong Kim Ark's favor, holding that, pursuant to the Fourteenth Amendment, Wong Kim Ark was a U.S. citizen, even though his parents were "subjects of the Emperor of China." 
On January 20, 2025, shortly after being sworn in, President Trump signed an Executive Order restricting birthright citizenship. Litigation immediately followed.
The Fourth Annual Fall Symposium of the Center on Asian Americans and the Law at Fordham Law School will present a two-part program on birthright citizenship. First, we will tell the story of Wong Kim Ark, a Chinese cook who took his case to the United States Supreme Court in 1898. Second, a distinguished panel will explore the issues presented by the recent Executive Order.

Generative AI waits for instructions. Custom GPTs built for your firm take action proactively. Ever spent more time guiding AI than actually getting work done? You prompt, it guesses, you correct… over and over.
Custom GPTs flip the script: you train them on your firm’s playbooks, templates, set clear goals, and they take action—reducing the need for constant direction.
Whether this sounds exciting or a little intimidating, it marks a shift from tools that wait for instructions to systems that actually get things done for your firm.
In this CLE-eligible* webinar, we will explore how to:
  • Train custom GPTs on your firm’s playbooks for precise, compliant outputs.
  • Explore Intake GPT, Settlement Maximizer GPT, and Marketing GPT—tools that will exceed your expectations for what AI can do.
  • Follow a plug-and-play blueprint using your firm’s data and policies to launch immediately.
  • Bonus: See Clio’s AI-powered legal software in action and learn how we help firms deliver fast, accurate results while maintaining bank-level security.

November 12: AI in Action: How to Draft with GenAI

Generative AI is reshaping legal drafting—accelerating first drafts of contracts, pleadings, legal arguments, deposition questions, memos, client letters, emails, and clauses. This CLE shows practitioners how to use Gen AI to move from a blank page to a high-quality first draft faster. 
A practical ethics segment covers competence with technology, confidentiality, and supervision—plus a checklist for avoiding hallucinations and misattributions, and for complying with evolving court expectations. Finally, we’ll walk through exemplar prompts and iterations, including responsive drafting from uploaded documents, and we’ll demonstrate how to verify authorities and reduce risk with citation validation.
Participants leave with a deeper understanding of prompts, an iteration playbook, and a defensible workflow to deploy AI drafting safely in everyday practice. 
After completing this course, you will be able to: 
  •  Draft and iteratively refine legal documents using structured prompts. 
  •  Use upload-based responsive drafting and citation validation from drafts and opposing filings. 
  •  Apply an ethics-first checklist mapping Model Rules 1.1, 1.6, 5.3, and 3.3 to AI-assisted drafting. 
  •  Recognize hallucinations/misattributions and implement verification workflows. 
  •  Track court standing orders and evolving AI-use rules.

November 12: Delaware at a Crossroads: Navigating Shifts in Corporate Law and Litigation

Delaware, the nation's corporate law hub, has recently seen legal upheaval - the Court of Chancery has been scrutinized for rulings affecting controlling stockholders, and the state legislature has enacted amendments that, some argue, limit the court's equitable jurisdiction. These developments led to several major companies reincorporating elsewhere, raising concerns among Delaware lawmakers about potential corporate flight to more purportedly business-friendly states.
This webinar will analyze these developments and their implications for Delaware corporate law and the influence of the Court of Chancery, and will look to what the future might hold for corporate governance and litigation in the state.
Learning Objectives:
  • Learn the significance of Delaware corporate law and the Court of Chancery's role in business disputes, including recent Chancery decisions that have led to the perception by some that Delaware forums have become hostile towards controlling shareholders.
  • Understand the legislative responses to Chancery opinions, including the "Market Practice Amendments" and SB 21, their impact on shareholder litigation, and the resulting "DExit" movement, as some companies may consider reincorporating to states like Texas and Nevada.
Who would Benefit from this Program?
  • Litigators whose clients go before Delaware courts in corporate or commercial matters.
  • Corporate attorneys trying to understand the recent amendments to Delaware’s general corporate law statute.
  • Out-of-state attorneys interested in Delaware developments that impact their incorporation decisions.
