Scholarly Lectures / Writings
- Artificial intelligence is poised to transform how family law is practiced — much like email, e-filing, and online legal research once did. While some family law attorneys are beginning to experiment with AI, many remain uncertain where to start or concerned about ethical risks. This program bridges that gap by examining how family law professionals can innovate responsibly, integrating AI tools in ways that enhance efficiency and service while complying with the ABA Model Rules. Panelists will explore real-world use cases, ethical guardrails, and practical entry points designed to help attorneys confidently navigate innovation without compromising professional responsibility., Panelist, AI in Family Law: Innovation Without Ethical Missteps, 2025
- Technology can help bridge the gap caused by hard feelings, help you manage the practical aspects of co-parenting, and keep you close to your children even during the other parent's time. In fact, strategic use of the right technology can even give you an edge if your child custody case ends up in court, or back in court in the event of a modification., Using Technology to Find Answers to Common Child Custody Problems and Keep the Peace While Co-Parenting, ABA Family Advocate -Summer 2021 (Vol.44, No. 1), 2021
