Registration is now open

Thursday May 22, 2025

9:00am - 12:00pm Breakfast and registration at 8:30am

Registration Fee: $225.00 plus HST
Registration opens March 31, 2025  and will be limited to 5 individuals per organization

Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) is taking the legal world by storm. Law firms and corporations worldwide are investing millions of dollars in Gen AI development and applications. Ontario’s regulators and adjudicators are dealing with the growing everyday reality of AI, as we identify and assess the risks and benefits that it brings. SOAR is here to help.

Join Jordan Furlong, facilitator, and Colin Lachance, expert AI resource, on May 22, 2025 to explore how Gen AI is impacting the administrative justice sector.

This half-day, interactive, limited-registration workshop will give attendees the insights, information and practical tools to navigate the churning waters of Gen AI.  Group discussions will facilitate critical thinking and exchange diverse perspectives while exploring: the rapidly changing landscape of AI, its impact on the adjudicative sector, AI policy development for tribunals, advice for handling the use of AI by parties, practical information about bias, confidentiality, transparency, and much more.

Who should attend:

This interactive workshop is designed for those grappling with the implications and opportunities that AI brings. This is not an introduction to Gen AI. We expect participants to have an intermediate understanding of AI and its uses.

If you are an adjudicator presented with AI generated submissions; a Tribunal Chair considering the implications of AI for your hearing processes; or a regulatory body seeking to proactively address the complexities of AI while fostering innovation and protecting public interests, this session may be of interest to you.

Registration is open and will be limited.

Facilitator: Jordan Furlong with expert AI resource, Colin Lachance
The workshop will be delivered by Jordan Furlong and Colin Lachance. Jordan is a reknowned analyst and forecaster of the Canadian legal sector. Colin is an expert AI resource, blogger and hero of your AI legal future. He currently the Innovator-in-residence at the Ontario Bar Association. Presentations, interactive panels, and facilitated breakout sessions will give attendees the opportunity to learn from each other's experiences, discover emerging best practices, and forge their own paths forward.
