June 25, 2026 – I Hope This Message Finds You… and Other Signs You’re Using AI (Wrong)
Presented by Kaitlin McGee of the D.C. Bar Practice Management Advisory Service
AI tools are quickly becoming part of everyday law practice, and used thoughtfully, they can absolutely make lawyers more efficient. But more and more lawyer communication is starting to sound exactly the same: overly polished emails, generic marketing posts, and content that technically says the right thing while somehow sounding completely impersonal.
This program will discuss common mistakes lawyers make when using AI tools, how to use AI to refine rather than replace your own ideas, and why authentic communication still matters in a profession built on trust. We’ll also cover practical ways to use AI to save time without losing your voice, your judgment, or your connection to clients.
The goal is not to avoid AI. It’s to use it intentionally, in ways that strengthen rather than weaken client relationships.
This program is a joint production with the Law Practice Management Community of the D.C. Bar.
For more information on this program and other services offered by the Practice Management Advisory Service you may contact Daniel M. Mills or Kaitlin McGee, practice management advisors, at [email protected].
