This webinar provides a concise, practical overview of the Uniform Family Law Arbitration Act (UFLAA), including why it was created and the problems it was designed to solve in modern family law practice. Attendees will learn the value arbitration offers clients – particularly in complex or high-conflict cases – and how to strategically incorporate it at different stages of litigation, with drafting tips tailored to each phase. The webinar concludes with a step-by-step look at how to arbitrate under the UFLAA, from agreement through enforcement, to equip practitioners with immediately actionable tools.

This advanced AAML webinar equips experienced family law practitioners to operationalize AI and automation—safely, ethically, and with measurable impact on workflow and staffing. We begin with a practical deep dive into modern voice-driven workflows, comparing leading dictation and meeting-transcription tools and demonstrating how features of these tools can accelerate drafting, hearings prep, and client communications. We will highlight real-world use with tools such as Otter and discuss quality controls that preserve accuracy and privilege in fast-paced matters. Next, we turn to the people and process layer: making every staff minute count. You’ll see how HR compliance and timekeeping discipline intersect with efficiency—covering overtime classification pitfalls, implementing firmwide time-tracking in systems like ADP, and building audit-ready records without overburdening teams. We will unpack lessons learned from employment matters and translate them into policies you can adopt immediately. We will then survey the latest OpenAI/ChatGPT developments most relevant to family law practice, including emerging capabilities, configuration choices, and guardrails for sensitive data. The program closes with a focused ethics segment addressing confidentiality, competence, supervision, and bias—offering a practical framework for policy, training, and matter-by-matter risk assessment. Participants will leave with a tested roadmap: selecting and governing AI tools, aligning HR/timekeeping with productivity gains, and deploying generative AI responsibly in high-stakes family law work.
