Scholarly Lectures / Writings

  • I was honored to join the panel “Confronting Gender Bias in the Legal Profession” hosted by Injury Board.  This important conversation brought together voices from across the legal field to share personal stories, exchange insights, and engage in candid dialogue about the challenges we face and the progress still needed., Panelist, Confronting Gender Bias in the Legal Profession, Injury Board, Legal, 2025
  • The ABA Model Rules require a lawyer to competently represent each client, "keep[ing] abreast of changes in the law and its practice, including the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology." With AI and other emerging technologies at the forefront of the zeitgeist, lawyers must understand the risks associated with AI, including the risks of bias and harm to the legal system as a whole. As AI systems increasingly appear in juror selection, to "identify" evidence, and in other legal processes, the societal importance of lawyers' competent use of AI systems and other technologies is increasing. Attendees will receive a 360-degree view of AI and technology, exploring how those in the legal industry can efficiently and ethically stay on top of this ever-changing landscape., Panelist, AI & Other Tech: It's Your Ethical Duty, Texas Women Rainmakers, Legal, 2023
