The legal landscape is shifting beneath our feet. From the classroom to the courtroom, Artificial Intelligence (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 join this pivotal symposium for a deep dive into how AI is redefining the practice of law and its impact on the public. Registration includes lunch and 3.75 CLE credits. Scholarships are available on an individual, as-need basis. Please contact LRay@osbf.org to learn more.
