SUMMARY:Effect of technology on law and access to justice
DESCRIPTION:The legal profession stands at a pivotal crossroads. Millions
  of individuals worldwide navigate the complexities of the legal system 
 without adequate representation\, facing outcomes that are often determi
 ned not by the merits of their cases but by their inability to access qu
 alified legal counsel. At the same time\, artificial intelligence is res
 haping nearly every sector of professional practice\, and the legal prof
 ession is no exception.\n\nThis continuing legal education programme bri
 ngs together an interdisciplinary panel of legal aid practitioners\, tec
 hnology innovators\, access-to-justice advocates\, and legal ethics expe
 rts to examine how AI tools are being deployed and how they should be de
 ployed to assist in closing the widening justice gap. The programme will
  provide attorneys with a practical\, critically informed understanding 
 of AI-assisted legal tools\, their demonstrated benefits for pro se liti
 gants and under-resourced legal service organisations\, and the professi
 onal responsibility framework that must govern their use.\n\nThe program
 me is designed to be solutions-oriented. It acknowledges that AI present
 s genuine opportunities to extend legal services to communities historic
 ally left behind by the justice system\, while also confronting the bias
 \, risks\, limitations\, and ethical obligations that responsible adopti
 on demands.\n
