Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really free?

Yes. No credit card, no obligation. We're building Fractal Legal as a resource for the legal community, and this workshop is part of that mission.

Will there be a recording?

We'll send a recording to all registrants who can't attend live. But the Q&A section is the most valuable part, so attending live is worth it.

Is this CLE-eligible?

Not at this time, but we're exploring CLE accreditation for future workshops. This session is designed to be practical and immediately applicable regardless.

Is this relevant to my jurisdiction?

Yes. The ethics rules we cover (competence, confidentiality, supervision) apply across jurisdictions, and the AI policy framework is designed to work regardless of where you practice.

Will you try to sell me something?

We'll briefly mention what Fractal Legal offers at the end, but 95% of the session is pure education. We'd rather you leave impressed by the content than annoyed by a pitch.

Don't wait for a court order to get your AI policy in place.

Join us April 10 and leave with a clear compliance roadmap for your firm.
