Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC Australia
Doors open, and Lunch Provided from 12:15pm
As practitioners we may not think about the source of our ethics, relying instead on an instinctive approach – are our actions wrong or right? It isn’t until something goes awry that we have to unpack the ethical dilemma that has emerged.
Practicing in-house can have particular challenges in that lawyers are operating in a system where not every person in a lawyer or legally trained. Those colleagues may not always understand the ethical framework which must be adhered to.
In this session, Brett Cassidy and Alex Darcey will take a look at recent legal ethics cases and the ethical issues facing in house practitioners including the adoption of AI into the workforce.
