About this Event

The legal landscape is shifting beneath our feet. From the classroom to the courtroom, AI is changing how we practice, research, and deliver justice. As AI moves from a futuristic concept to a daily tool, the Ohio State Bar Foundation’s 2025 Fellows Class invites you to a pivotal symposium exploring the intersection of technology, ethics, and justice. Join us for a deep dive into how AI is redefining the practice of law and its impact on the public.


Who should attend: legal professionals, attorneys, judicial staff, and anyone interested in the law and the impact of AI.


The registration fee is $50, which includes lunch and 3.75 hours of CLE credits. Scholarships are available on an individual, as-need basis. Please contact [email protected] to learn more.
