About the Seminar
Join the Education Law Committee for a dynamic seminar about what issues to watch for in 2024. The seminar will kick off with a discussion on critical topics that commonly surface in K-12 Title IX lawsuits. The topics include pre-suit procedures, threshold legal considerations, matters related to evidence, and the interplay between Title IX and other federal claimers. Whether representing plaintiffs or defendants, participants will acquire practical insights to effectively advocate for their clients in the contest of K-12 Title IX litigation.

The next segment will be an ethics hour covering the status of AI in the U.S. and other countries; and how AI and Generative Artificial Intelligence, also known as ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence), can assist lawyers and law firms automate some legal processes and save some time and effort. The last part of the ethics talk will provide information on what lawyers and law firms need to do to understand the dangers associated with AI (ASI) when no human impute is required or needed.

A substance abuse/mental health hour will be included in the Education Law seminar. There will be a review of lawyer well-being statistics for as recent as May 2023 and strategies for increasing resilience to combat some of the difficult statistics.

After lunch there the focus will be Title IX in higher education. The speaker will provide a general background on Title IX’s applicability to higher education, with a focus on both athletic equity and prevention of sexual assault and violence. The presentation will include discussion of current regulation, enforcement, and case law, as well as the practicalities of the campus Title IX grievance process.

The last two hours of the day will focus on the Individuals with Disabilities Act, plus programs for students with disabilities and what to do and not to do in expulsion hearings.
