We are looking for 4-8 U of U Law School Alumni to connect with current law students over lunch. This is a great opportunity for the students to learn more about life as in-house counsel.

The standard format is 2 attorneys per table with 5 – 6 students. The attorneys speak to the students for about 15 minutes, then the attorneys rotate to another table. We keep up that rotation until every attorney has been at each table and able to speak to each student.

Due to the limited nature of this event, tickets will be given on first come, first serve basis. We need to give the Law School the names/titles of our members who will be attending by September 1 so please register early and make sure to block off the time in your calendar to attend.

Billings Presenter: Beth Nedrow

Employee benefits and executive compensation attorney Beth Nedrow will discuss “red flags” in-house counsel should be on the lookout for to ensure their benefits programs comply with ERISA and Internal Revenue Code while simultaneously supporting their company’s business objectives and circumstances.

AGENDA

1:00 - 1:50 p.m. CLE Session 1 - Responsible AI and Why It Matters
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is moving faster than the law, but regulation is just around the corner and organizations should prepare by building a Responsible AI Framework. This panel will offer practical tips for AI governance, including adapting existing frameworks, tracking forthcoming US and international regulation, bringing various business teams and functions to the table, building a model inventory, and selecting the principles to be the foundation for internal policies and procedures. Attendees will walk away with an understanding of how other organizations have been tackling AI governance and key things to look out for in the AI legal landscape.
Speaker: Camila Tobón | Partner | Shook Hardy and Bacon 

1:50 - 2:00 p.m. Break

2:00 - 2:50 p.m. CLE Session 2 - Be Aware: Your AI Has Implicit Bias, Too 
Companies and law firms are looking for ways to commit to meaningful change in the areas of equity, diversity, and inclusivity. For those efforts to be successful, it is critical to better understand the ways in which implicit bias manifests itself in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). As more and more companies integrate AI in their products, services, and processes, the need for fairness and non-discrimination in AI-based decision-making becomes increasingly important. This panel will offer practical strategies on how companies can detect and mitigate ethical risks rooted in implicit bias as they leverage AI to improve productivity and performance. 
Speakers:  Caroline Gieser | Associate | Shook Hardy & Bacon and Yara Rashad | Associate | Shook Hardy & Bacon

3:00 - 3:50 p.m. CLE Session 3 - What’s on Your Website (And What May be Missing From Your Website) May Surprise You
The biggest data privacy litigation risk companies currently face is class action litigation based on the use of certain website advertising technology. This session will explain the underlying technology, the tsunami of litigation sweeping the country, and provide concrete steps companies can take to mitigate risk.
