  Do AIs Dream of Electric Firms? Legal Personhood, Fiduciary Duties, and the AI-Managed Firm

  Sep 11, 20261h 7mS2

  What happens when the manager of a business firm is not human? Robert J. Rhee, Professor of Law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, examines the next frontier: agentic AI as a legally recognized manager of partnerships and limited liability companies. Drawing on Philip K. Dick's prescient vision of androids navigating a human world, Professor Rhee frames the central question for business lawyers: not whether AI will enter the boardroom, but whether the law is ready when it does. The program covers what attorneys need to know now: how to structure operating agreements for AI-managed firms, what fiduciary standards apply under RUPA and RULLCA, how to allocate liability between AI managers and their human owners, and what mandatory protections around removal and oversight should be built into any deal. Attorneys advising business clients on entity formation, governance, or emerging technology will leave with practical tools for structuring and safeguarding AI-managed ventures before the law catches up.

  Using Dungeons and Dragons to Become a Better Litigator

  Sep 11, 20261 hourS2

  The skills of a successful litigator share significant overlap with those of a successful Dungeons and Dragons player. Knowing the rules, Developing plans, reading the room, adapting strategy when a plan collapses, and persuading others to follow your lead are as central to litigation as they are to a night of Dungeons and Dragons. This program uses the mechanics and storytelling of the game to teach practical litigation skills, from case theory and narrative construction to negotiation, improvisation under pressure, and managing competing personalities. Derrick Carman, Certum Group, draws on both worlds to show how strategic thinking at the table translates directly to the courtroom. Attendees will leave with a way of thinking about their cases as well as strategies for sharpening preparation, persuasion, and adaptability in their own practice.

  What Are Animals Legally, and Can They Have Rights?

  Sep 10, 20261h 1mS2

  The law says that animals are vermin, pests, specimen, livestock, endangered species, or if you're lucky a companion animal, and above all as property with no rights of their own. But the ecological and cultural reality is much different: animals are sentient beings, individual souls, sacred entities, even kin or ancestors to some. Grant Wilson, Executive Director of Earth Law Center, will explore how legal innovations can bridge what we know to be true about animals to what the law says they are, drawing from legal principles such as multispecies justice, the Rights of Nature, animal rights, and animal dignity. The program takes a deep dive on how to evolve the law to respect and protect animals, with case studies from across the United States and world. Attendees will come away with a working knowledge of the emerging legal tools and frameworks shaping animal protection today.
