The leaders of the world independent bars and law societies will meet at the International Bar Association Bar Leaders Conference and Mid-Year Leadership Meetings in Bucharest, Romania between 22 and 25 May 2024.

The conference brings together Bar leaders from around the globe to discuss the latest developments and thorny issues affecting the legal profession today.

Dominique Hogan-Doran SC, Vice Chair of the IBA’s Bar Regulation Committee, has been invited to join the panel session on generative AI and the legal profession:

Generative AI could radically alter the practice of law. What are the issues that Bars and law societies should be addressing right now and how?  As part of the IBA Presidential Task Force on Artificial Intelligence, the Bar Issues Commission is tasked with reviewing the impact on regulatory and ethical rules regarding lawyers. Several jurisdictions have already issued guidelines and best practice commentaries relating to the professional conduct of lawyers. The panel will provide a cross section of comparative responses by bars and regulatory authorities to artificial intelligence, and feature speakers from across the spectrum of IBA entities involved with the task force. The session will be interactive so that attendees may also provide input on their bar activities.

Dominique has also been invited to lead 5 roundtables on what should bars and law societies be doing about the climate crisis.
