    CLE Credit: 1 General 


    Presented by: Vince Reese

    Real estate is where divorce cases blow up — not in the courtroom, but in underwriting. This one-hour class shows family law attorneys how to structure settlement terms that actually work in the real world. Learn how support income, buy-outs, assumptions, and the marital home impact mortgage approval, and how to avoid the post-decree surprises that derail clients.

    If your cases involve real property, this session will help you move them faster, protect your clients, and eliminate avoidable headaches. A fast, high-value class every divorce attorney should attend.

    CLE Credit: 1 General & 1 Ethics 

    Presented by: Alexis Litle

    This program examines how artificial intelligence is reshaping law practice, litigation strategy, and judicial decision-making, with a particular focus on the ethical duties of Colorado lawyers and judges. Using current case law, including United States v. Heppner and a contrasting federal decision reaching a more protective result on AI‑assisted work product, the course explores how privilege, work product, and confidentiality apply when clients and lawyers use public and enterprise AI tools. The program also addresses the evidentiary challenges posed by deepfakes and machine‑generated evidence, including pending Federal Rule of Evidence 707 and emerging authentication standards.

    Faculty will walk through concrete use cases: AI‑assisted research and drafting (and the sanctions risk of fabricated citations), client “self‑help” with public chatbots before contacting counsel, and courts’ own use of AI for research, drafting, and case management. Throughout, the program ties these scenarios to duties of competence, confidentiality, candor to the tribunal, supervision of lawyers and nonlawyers, fee practices, and access to justice under the Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct and recent ABA guidance on AI.
