December 23: Breached! Cybersecurity 101

 With data security incidents and data breaches happening daily, it’s important for attorneys to turn towards one reality—it’s NOT IF a breach or incident will occur—it’s WHEN. These incidents are forcing government agencies, companies, law firms, etc. to address, define, and handle these challenges. As cloud technology and big-data analytics have become the norm, cybersecurity risks have increased and it is more important than ever to have both an avoidance and a response plan in place. 

During this 60-minute CLE session, we will cover 

(1) the latest security threats in the news and what’s being done to address/remedy them, 

(2) explore current data breach laws, 

(3) the roles and responsibilities of government agencies, and 

(4) how to prepare a data breach avoidance plan as well as a data breach response plan. 

After completing this course, you will be able to: 

• Know the latest cybersecurity threats the U.S. is facing
• Understand the different roles and responsibilities of various agencies
• What the legal framework surrounding data breaches look like?
• How both government entities and companies across the globe have been impacted by cyber breaches; and
• How to prepare both a “data breach avoidance plan” as well as a “data breach response plan.”

November 22: Artificial Intelligence for Lawyers: Ethical Concerns and Best Practices

Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and other emerging technologies, while holding the promise of helping lawyers serve their clients efficiently and effectively, can also raise many complex ethical issues. Although an attorney’s ethical obligations remain unchanged regardless of technology relied upon in practice, in certain respects, the current rules of professional conduct may not have entirely “caught up” with emerging AI technology. 

This seminar will explore the evolution of tools leveraging AI in legal practice and will cover the ethical issues arising out of the use of AI in the practice of law. This seminar will focus on improving the ability of attorneys to understand Artificial Intelligence and the application of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct (the “Model Rules”) in leveraging Artificial Intelligence, with specific emphasis on the following: 

• Current trends in the legal industry and tools leveraging Artificial Intelligence; 
• An overview of Artificial Intelligence; and 
• Review and discussion on the Model Rules and their applicability to an attorney relying on or leveraging Artificial Intelligence in practice

November 18: How a Bill Becomes a Law: Federal Prison Reform in the 118th Congress

In recent history, Congress passed two of the most significant reforms to the Federal Bureau of Prisons in decades: the Federal Prison Oversight Act and the Prison Camera Reform Act. The genesis of this bipartisan productivity traces to a damning public record created years prior by reporting from the Associated Press and a series of bipartisan Congressional investigations into dysfunction, corruption, and abuse in Bureau facilities across the country.
On Monday November 18, 2024, NYU JLPP and the Brennan Center for Justice will present a moderated panel with key figures behind the reforms. 

Attorneys seeking CLE credit and law students will gain insights into the interactions between press, advocacy, and Congress that created a new bipartisan consensus surrounding federal prison reform.
