Understanding Legal and Practical Implications of Employee Political Activity

These conversations can lead to host of issues, including potential claims of employer discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. Additionally, with the rise of employee activism and demands for employers to take stands on hot button social issues of the day, employers should be prepared to proactively address these issues. 1.00 Hours CLE (TX)

The Bridges Group has always been about bringing Members together to learn more about the differences and similarities between people.

Please join the Diversity & Inclusion Bridges Group for an evening hosted by the St. Louis Art Museum (SLAM) for the last evening of the MUNDO art exhibit.

Inspired by the exhibition Art and Imagination in Spanish America, 1500–1800: Highlights from LACMA’s Collection, explore how cultures from all over the world (ormundo) have shared, combined, and influenced each other over time. 

This exhibition features more than 100 works drawn from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s notable collection of Spanish colonial art, which has largely been formed in the last fifteen years. The paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts on view underscore the generative power of Spanish America and its central position as a global crossroads.

There will be evening events including art making, cocktails, music, and performances.

Since ChatGPT’s release at the end of November 2022, legal professionals haven’t been able to ignore the possibility of applying generative AI to the practice of law. By December, legal scholars had published papers reflecting on its potential benefits and risks. By early 2023, a new, more capable large language model, GPT-4, became the first AI to pass all 3 sections of the Uniform Bar Exam. And by June 2023, a lawyer had already been sanctioned for misusing this AI in the practice of law. Unfortunately, this was not the last case addressing the misuse of this technology in the practice of law.

This presentation offers licensed and unlicensed legal professionals the opportunity to learn how today’s advanced AI technology works so they can use it responsibly in their legal work.
