On 18 November 2024, the European Lawyers Foundation (ELF) and the Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE) organised a webinar on ‘The impact of artificial intelligence on European lawyers’ practices’, in the framework of the EU-funded TRAVAR project. Among the issues addressed during the webinar, there was first a general presentation from the European Commission about the EU AI Act, plus further presentations about: the impact of the EU AI Act and other EU AI initiatives on lawyers’ practices; the ethical use of AI by lawyers; the challenge facing non-English speaking countries regarding generative AI; and a check-list on the acquisition and development of AI tools.
