The Honorable Sean P. Lugg | Superior Court of the State of Delaware
Joseph Leonard, Esq.| Morris James LLP
This forward-looking CLE explores the evolving legal landscape shaped by artificial intelligence, inviting attendees to consider how emerging technologies may redefine core principles across multiple areas of law. Framed around a series of hypothetical appellate decisions from the “3rd Celestial Circuit” in 2031, a panel of judges and practitioners will analyze cutting-edge issues such as the land use implications of large-scale AI infrastructure, the ethical boundaries of AI-assisted legal practice, and the admissibility of novel forms of digital and neuro-based evidence.
Through these thought-provoking scenarios, the program will examine challenges ranging from attorney discipline for unregulated AI use, to bankruptcy complications involving inaccessible digital assets, to the growing threat of deepfakes in criminal proceedings. Panelists will also explore the continued necessity of human judgment in professional services despite increasing automation. Attendees will gain insight into how courts may balance innovation with accountability and leave better prepared to navigate the legal and ethical complexities of an AI-driven future.
The opinions will include:

New Castle County Homeowners v. Project Washington: a massive AI data center towers over a quiet suburb.
ODC v. Novamind: disciplinary counsel charges attorneys for deploying an unlicensed AI legal assistant in court.
Marcus Chen v. Stellar Innovations: court orders limited discovery of neural implant memories as evidence in civil litigation.
In re NexaCore AI: bankruptcy court confronts lost cryptographic keys locking $500 million in AI assets.
Deepfakes, Digital Video & Criminal Law: AI-forged evidence forces courts to rethink authentication and burden of proof.
Premier Accounting Group v. Board of Accountancy: court holds human oversight remains irreplaceable in AI-assisted audits.

Purpose of the Program

This is not an AI tutorial
This is not a product demo
This is about strategic decisions firms are already making—whether they admit it or not

Framing Points

Why AI is now a law firm management issue, not a tech issue
Why sitting still is also a strategic choice
How this program differs from “Best Practices in AI”

Section I — AI 101 For Law Firm Leaders
