Join the Computer & Technology Section at the State Bar of Texas Annual Meeting for a practical day built around the theme Adapt with Intelligence. From in-house expectations and AI in the courts to automation, policies, and high-impact tech tips, this lineup is designed to give Texas lawyers ideas they can use right away. Leave with more than awareness — leave with tools, strategies, and momentum.

Your AI Chatbot Is Not Your Lawyer examines how client and attorney use of AI chatbots can affect attorney-client privilege, work product protection, confidentiality, and discovery obligations. The course walks through the legal framework courts are applying to AI-generated materials and gives Texas attorneys practical steps for advising clients, selecting AI tools, documenting litigation-related use, and reducing the risk that chatbot interactions become discoverable.
