The Justinian Society of Lawyers is proud to co-host the Fourth Annual All-Bar Salute to Veterans in the Legal Profession, commemorating the 25th anniversary of September 11.

This special evening will recognize the service and sacrifice of veterans from every branch of the U.S. military who have continued their commitment to service through careers in the legal profession, including judges, attorneys, paralegals, law students, and legal administrative staff. We are honored to recognize this year’s veteran honorees, attorney Conrad C. Nowak and Cook County Judge Donna L. Cooper.

Join us for an evening of recognition and connection featuring light appetizers and drinks as we celebrate those who have served our country and continue to serve their communities. A portion of all proceeds will be donated directly to veterans’ organizations. Admission is free for all veterans, who are highly encouraged to attend in military dress.

CLE Session on Artificial Intelligence (Thursday, December 03, 2026)

Thu, 03 Dec 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Justinian Society CLE

AI for Legal Research:

Ask Better Questions, Check the Answers

Thursday, December 3, 2026

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Virtual via Zoom

Pending Approval:

1 CLE Credit & 1 Professional Responsibility Credit

AI can uncover a useful argument—or send your research in the wrong direction with a convincing answer. In this hands-on workshop, Stephen Murphy shares findings from his work with Illinois legal materials and walks through real-world research and document-review examples. We'll start with a short exercise: ask AI to identify possible problems in a public Illinois legal document, then test its findings against the source. From there, we'll explore how to uncover overlooked issues, challenge weak assumptions, and get research back on course without simply steering the AI toward the answer we want.

The techniques apply across general-purpose AI assistants and specialized legal research tools. Participants leave with a ten-point checklist and an editable AI instruction template. Bring a laptop and an AI tool you already use; no paid subscription is required, and everyone can participate through shared examples, polls and discussion.

REGISTRATION

Members: FREE | Non-members: $50

NOTE: After registering, you’ll receive a confirmation email with the Zoom registration link. Registration through Zoom is required to access this CLE.
