e are excited to announce a new, FREE, non-credit, technology program series, Understanding Artificial Intelligence: Practical Software Tools for Attorneys, brought to you by the Bar’s law practice management consultant Jared Correia of Red Cave Legal Consulting.

All anyone seems to want to talk about is artificial intelligence. AI is all the rage for lawyers. And, yet, many attorneys are cautiously surveying the scene, deciding whether or not to jump into the deep end of the pool for the first time. We are here to tell you AI isn’t as scary as it sounds!
If you are surveying the landscape of AI tools but are uncertain about where to dip your toe into the water, we have a program series for you! In this series, we will examine a new AI tool during each webinar. In just 30 minutes, the speakers will review a different AI tool and outline specific strategies for how to use it in your practice.
The first program is scheduled on Tuesday, April 23rd, at 12:30 pm and will cover ChatGPT. That’s right: we’re jumping right in with the generative AI tool that started the whole craze! And, if you don’t know what ‘GPT’ stands for – well, you might as well click here to register right now.
All sessions will be recorded and available to view free of charge on the Bar’s Law Practice Management page on ribar.com.
