I've been appointed chair of the local bar association's IP and Technology
section (lol).  Seeking ideas and topics for meetings.

I laugh when I talk about this, because I didn't think I would ever do anything
with the local bar association.  This is not because anything is lacking with
them; it's because I'm too busy to really do anything or get involved with a
group like this.  However, they made it really convenient for me by allowing me
to host my section meetings at my office, which is a perfect use of the Trial
Laboratory.  I disclosed that I have products for sale (software) that I will be
discussing in the group, and they were fine with that.  So here we are, I am a
leader in the community, which is funny because I don't work for The Man.

Anyway, I'm seeking ideas and topics for the section meetings.  So far, I want
to start with the intersection of law and technology, as well as emerging
technologies and their application in law.  Sample topics:

1.  Artificial Intelligence and its use in law.  Will A.I. ever replace a
lawyer?  Can a machine ever do what we do?
2.  Computer-assisted law practice, such as automatic document generation, CRM,
and organizing.
3.  Ethical issues raised by the use of technology; with great power comes great
responsibility.
4.  Maximizing impact and efficiency of staff through state-of-the-art software
tools.

What else?

Seems like they want the section to put on one or more CLE presentations, no?

I've always felt these section meetings were intended to discuss proposed
changes to laws or local practice issues.

Yes, CLE is a given.  I've got endless CLE's and providers, so that's not a
problem.
