This year’s panel sessions are entitled “Competence and Diversity”, “Law and Generative AI” and “The Duty to Report – How Far Does This Ethical Obligation Extend?” There will also be a keynote presentation over lunch on “Neurotechnology and the Practice of Law: Legal Ethics Intersections”. 

The Ethics Forum has been a popular event in previous years and so early registration is encouraged.

CBA-FLSC Ethics Forum 2023

Posted on by

The 2020 version of this annual conference was, for many, the last in-person professional event before the pandemic shutdown. It is wonderful to see it return in person. The 2023 conference happens in Toronto on Friday, March 31.

The panel sessions this year are titled “Lawyering in Times of Chaos and Controversy”, “Legal Ethics and Family Law: Do Unique Challenges Require New Approaches?” and “A Wake Up Call: What is the path forward for improving lawyer mental health?”. The keynote speaker is Katrina Ingram, founder of Ethically Aligned AI, who will discuss artificial intelligence and the practice of law. In addition, the CBA Ethics and Professional Responsibility Subcommittee will present Part II of its Business of Law toolkit which deals with marketing.

More information (including a list of all moderators and presenters and the opportunity to register) is available here.
