Welcome and Opening Remarks

Join us as we officially open the Lawyering with AI Conference with welcoming remarks from SEAL’s leadership. This opening session will set the stage for the day's discussions by introducing the conference theme, highlighting key topics that will be explored throughout our panel sessions, and acknowledging our distinguished speakers and attendees.

10:00 – 11:15 AM

Session A

EU AI Act vs. U.S. Regulatory Fragmentation: Compliance Strategies for Cross- Border Practice

As AI regulations diverge globally, law firms and corporate legal departments face unprecedented compliance complexity. This session provides a comparative analysis of the EU's comprehensive AI Act risk classification framework versus the fragmented U.S. state-level approach, while exploring the critical components of effective AI governance programs. Discussion addresses vendor vetting and due diligence processes that protect sensitive data and maintain confidentiality, navigating regulatory compliance requirements and client/stakeholder expectations, building organization-wide AI literacy, and establishing monitoring and accountability mechanisms for AI use.

11:30 AM – 12:45 PM

Session A

West Law and Lexis AI+ Follow Along

Representatives showcase AI-powered research capabilities in realistic scenarios, demonstrate citation verification features and source transparency, and show integration with traditional research workflows. Each platform receives approximately 35 minutes for demonstration and Q&A.

11:30 AM – 12:45 PM

Session B

Inventorship, Patentability, and Strategic Protection of AI Innovations

Artificial intelligence is transforming patent law, raising fundamental questions about inventorship, patentability, and IP strategy that courts and patent offices worldwide are still resolving. This panel brings together patent practitioners to examine critical issues at the intersection of AI and patent law: Can AI systems be named as inventors? What level of human contribution is required for inventorship of AI-assisted inventions? How do patent eligibility standards apply to AI-related innovations? What claim drafting strategies best protect AI technologies including machine learning models, neural networks, and training methodologies?

12:45 – 1:30 PM

Prompt Engineering for Legal Professionals

This workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of effective prompt engineering. Participants will learn the basics of writing clear, specific prompts for legal research, simple document review tasks, and client communication drafting. The session covers essential concepts like being specific with instructions, providing context, asking for step-by- step reasoning, basic verification techniques to catch errors, and more. Attendees will practice writing prompts during hands-on exercises with realistic legal scenarios, leaving with practical templates they can immediately use in their practice.

1:30 – 2:45 PM

Session B

AI and Product Liability: When Algorithms Cause Physical Harm

From autonomous vehicles to AI mental health chatbots, algorithmic failures can cause catastrophic injuries—triggering product liability claims across diverse industries.
