Navigating the Chaos of Disruption

Attorney General Kathy Jennings, Esq.
Timothy Houseal, Esq.
Hon. Kent Jordan (Ret.)
Check-in: 12:00 p.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Panel: 12:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
The legal profession is experiencing a period of profound disruption—marked by institutional strain, public skepticism, and rapid changes in how justice is delivered. For attorneys and judges, this evolving landscape brings not only professional complexity but also significant personal strain. Rising workloads, emotional exhaustion, and moral stress are taking a measurable toll on mental health and well-being across the legal system.
Navigating the Chaos of Disruption is a CLE designed to equip legal professionals with strategies to stay mentally well, ethically grounded, and professionally resilient amid ongoing change. Participants will explore how to manage chronic stress, recognize the signs of burnout, and build sustainable habits that support both personal and professional longevity. This session blends practical tools with reflective insight to help attorneys and judges thrive—not just survive—in today’s demanding legal environment.
While many of the issues causing challenges to physical and mental health might be perceived as politically charged, the focus of this class is strictly intended to be physical and mental well-being, with the classroom a safe space all to speak, listen and hopefully benefit.
Lunch provided

From there, the discussion will dive into the legal challenges that arise when AI interacts with copyright law, including questions of authorship, originality, and ownership. The panel will also address the ethical dimensions of generative AI in the creative process, considering issues such as bias, accountability, and the broader implications for artists and society. Some of the key issues that will be addressed:

The foundations of how generative AI operates.
The intellectual property issues that arise in connection with AI-generated works.
