About the Program

Tired of AI panels that hype the future but skip the how-to? This practical session cuts through the noise to show tech-forward lawyers exactly how to build their own lightweight AI tools—no coding required. You’ll learn how OpenAI’s custom GPTs can be quickly configured to streamline repetitive legal tasks, from contract review and subpoena responses to deposition summaries and litigation timelines. We’ll walk step-by-step through building one, explore real legal use cases, and cover critical privacy and privilege concerns. If you’re ready to stop talking about AI and start putting it to work, this session is for you.
