SUMMARY:Land Use Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Regulation of Short Term Rentals: Issues and Considerations\nMany communities are struggling with issues relating to short-term rentals\, especially after the proliferation of vacation rental aggregation websites over the past couple decades. Examples of some of the issues that arise are pressures on workforce housing\, regulatory takings\, and public nuisances\, such as trash and noise. Although the impacts of STRs are often heightened in regions that are desirable for vacation or recreational opportunities\, the impacts of STRs can be felt across many different types of communities. This presentation will examine some of those challenges and how some communities and courts have responded. \nSpeaker: Rob Bovett & Casey Burgess

SUMMARY:Ethics Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Ethical & Effective Generative AI for Municipal Lawyers: Enhancing Public Service and Managing Risk\nAs generative artificial intelligence moves from a theoretical concept to a practical tool\, it presents unique opportunities and challenges for public sector lawyers. This webcast is designed specifically for the municipal attorney\, focusing on how you can leverage AI to provide better\, faster\, and more efficient legal services to your community while carefully managing the inherent risks. Join our speaker\, Dr. Gleb Tsipursky\, for a session that cuts through the hype to deliver actionable strategies for your practice. \nAttending this program will equip you to dramatically increase your department’s efficiency by using AI to streamline the initial drafting of ordinances\, review common contracts\, and analyze complex public policies\, freeing up your time for high-level strategic counsel. You’ll learn how to protect your work product and professional reputation by applying proven techniques to identify and correct AI-generated errors\, from subtle inaccuracies to fabricated case citations. For city attorneys and department heads\, the session will cover how to implement effective oversight protocols to manage your team’s use of AI\, ensuring quality control and avoiding the ethical pitfalls that have led to sanctions in other jurisdictions. You’ll also learn how to safeguard sensitive municipal data and preserve attorney-client privilege by understanding how different AI tools handle your data and which questions to ask vendors. The program will help you develop a clear framework for creating an official AI use policy for your law department that ensures compliance\, manages liability\, and aligns with public records requirements. It will also address how to satisfy the duty of competence (ABA Model Rule 1.1) by understanding AI’s capabilities for streamlining ordinance drafting\, contract review\, and policy research. Strategies will be provided for mitigating the risks of AI “hallucinations” and fabricated citations to maintain the duty of diligence (ABA Model Rule 1.3) and avoid misleading a tribunal. Finally\, the session will examine the non-delegable duty of human oversight and verification\, analyzing recent attorney sanctions and connecting them to the responsibilities of supervisory lawyers (ABA Model Rules 5.1 and 5.3). \nFor those who wish to receive the presenter’s resources after the presentation\, such as in-depth case studies with guidance on how to adopt Generative AI in municipal law and his book on Generative AI strategies\, please visit: https://disasteravoidanceexperts.com/event. \nSpeaker: Dr. Gleb Tsipursky & Sean Cooley

SUMMARY:Police Liability & Section 1983 Webinar – Free Live For IMLA Members
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence (AI) In Law Enforcement: Balancing Innovation\, Ethics\, and Risk Management For Municipal Lawyers\nCLE available to Kitchen Sink Subscribers and in some cases to others but fees may apply. \nArtificial intelligence (AI) offers transformative possibilities for law enforcement\, from streamlining administrative tasks to improving operational efficiency. When you mention AI in law enforcement\, many will think of facial recognition\, firearms detection systems\, document and video redaction\, and automated report writing. While all these are AI uses in law enforcement\, do you know how your police officers are managing them? Are they attempting to use AI Chatbots as an “easy button”? Are they aware of AI’s susceptibility to bias and the potential for bias and errors\, and how this can create increased risk in future litigation? \nLegal advisors must ensure that their police leaders are using AI ethically by providing robust oversight and clear communication about their applications to their members. By prioritizing ethical considerations and keeping humans at the center of decision-making\, law enforcement can navigate the complexities of AI while fostering public confidence and managing risk. Legal advisors will learn why a little preemptive interaction now may help prevent surprises in future litigation discovery. \nSpeaker: Chief (Ret.) Michael Ranalli

SUMMARY:Ethics Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Expectations for Attorney-Client Relationships: Establishing Clear\, Strong & Effective Commitments\nWhen representing local governments\, the Client is the entity (as an organization).  Elected officers\, appointed officials\, and staff members may be representatives of the Client. While the Attorney may work closely with those individuals\, they typically are not the Clients.  Nonetheless\, for purposes of this document\, representatives of the local government are referred to as “Clients.”  Although each arrangement will vary\, there are certain essential elements of successful Attorney-Client relationships that tend to provide a solid foundation.  This presentation outlines recommended mutual expectations between Attorneys and the local government Clients they serve. Its purpose is to promote professionalism\, accountability\, and effective collaboration in the delivery of municipal legal services. The presentation references the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct\, specifically 1.1\, 1.2\, 1.3\, 1.4\, 1.6\, 1.7\, 1.8\, 1.13\, 2.1\, 4.1\, and 8.4. \nSpeaker: Alan Bojorquez & Kuruvilla Oommen

SUMMARY:Mental Health/Substance Abuse Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Staying Safe and Sound for the Holidays – Strategies for the Legal Professional\nHolidays are often associated with joy and excitement\, but they can be stressful\, overwhelming\, and challenging as well. For some\, holidays bring up feelings of grief\, isolation\, disappointment\, and sadness. The holiday season can quickly bring increased stress and anxiety to members of the legal profession whose lives are already filled to the brim with those emotions. \nWith the alarming prevalence of substance use and mental health disorders in the legal profession\, it is imperative that we are all armed with the knowledge and insight of how to approach someone who may be struggling. Certain approaches yield greater results than others. The “Intervention” methods shown on television\, while often compelling\, don’t typically produce excellent results – especially with members of the legal profession. \nAs lawyers\, we all know that language is often the key to success. Why should we expect it to differ in the life and death struggle to help someone who suffers from alcohol or substance misuse or a mental health disorder? With the alarming number of suicides in our profession\, it tells us that people would rather die than ask for help – and this must stop. \nMr. Quinn will discuss: \n\nRecognize that one in three legal professionals will struggle with substance use and/or a mental health disorder at some point in their legal careers.\nSpot the signs of impairment and learn the “Motivational Interventions” approach that yields results and saves lives.\nThe confidential\, free\, safe\, and supportive services for lawyers\, judges\, their family members and law students that are available through Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers.\nThe barriers that exist that prevent lawyers and judges from asking for help with an alcohol/substance misuse or mental health disorder.\nIdentify the parameters of Rule of Professional Conduct 8.3 (c) – and the safe harbor that it provides to protect attorneys working with an approved lawyers assistance program or who contact a LAP on behalf of an attorney or judge who is struggling.\n\nSpeaker: Brian S. Quinn
