Miller Becker Seminar – AI usage as a lawyer

The entire Koblentz, Penvose and Froning firm had the opportunity to attend the Miller Becker Seminar on October 28, 2025, the day the bar exam results came out!

It was a great day of learning from Amy Cyphert, who explained deeper what generative AI is and how it can be useful to attorneys. The most interesting thing was how AI as a research tool is not the best use case for how attorneys should use AI to improve their work and reduce the amount of time needed to serve their clients. Rather AI should be used in as a similar way as outlines, or to improve the review of documents within a closed universe system.

Other topics included a panel discussion about the use of AI and the intersection with Ethics with Maia Jerin, Amy Cyphert, Judge Eugene Lucci, Jay Wampler, and Lisa Zaring as the Moderator. The panel discussed how AI impacts the judicial system, even if attorneys are not using it. Especially in cases involving pro se litigants. Next, Matthew Kanai and Susan Hard gave a demonstration of different AI tools and a Disciplinary Case Update from D. Allan Asbury.

Thank you to everyone who had a hand in running this event. It is always a treat!
