Our evening CLE, Functional, Ethical, and Environmental Considerations for Using AI in Legal Practice, was an enormous success! Thank you to our panelists UNM School of Law Professor Cliff Villa, Aidan Manning of New Mexico Wild, and Maslyn Locke, a Senior Environmental Justice Staff Attorney at NMELC. Thank you for sharing the lessons and stories from your years of professional experience during our CLE as New Mexicans prepare for potential data centers being built in their communities. Rin Tara Water Policy and Governance Analyst of the Utton Center moderated the fantastic discussion.

This event would not have nearly been as succesful without our attendees. Thank you for asking such engaging questions and participating with the material. About 70 people attended in total, and 35 of those sought CLE credit. 

The Utton Center regularly hosts free CLEs, and we hope to see you at our next one!
