**I am looking for 1-2 speakers not in Maryland.

Hello everyone, I am looking for co-speakers for the following sessions: 1. Title: Logical Fallacies in Municipal Tree litigation Description: The management of risk with public-owned trees is fraught with significant uncertainty. However, in the rare instances of a negative tree-related event involving a municipal-owned tree, the arguments presented by plaintiff's experts' trend toward mischaracterizing risk and how it is managed. This engaging session focuses on the municipal attorney's role as a stakeholder in developing simple, reasonable, practical, and proportionate municipal tree risk management policies that adhere to industry best management practices. ** I am specifically looking for 2 speakers with the following experience: (1) someone who regulates trees on private property and (2) someone who deals with public property. 1. Title: Citizen Police Accountability Board Implementation Description: Police Accountability Boards and Charging Committees are part of a new process of citizen-led discipline for law enforcement officers. This is a system implemented at the county-level (but handling all municipal agencies) from the ground up about 2 years ago. Police Accountability Boards, Administrative Charging Committees, and Trial Boards have convened across all of Maryland's 24 jurisdictions. Complaints have been filtering into this new civilian oversight process, allowing civilians to hold police officers accountable for their actions. Now the civilian investigation and review process is well underway. Hear from county attorneys, law enforcement, and board members on everything regarding the process. Is it working? What are the challenges and successes? Where do we go from here? **I am looking for 1-2 speakers not in Maryland. 1. Understanding the Risks, Rewards, and Regulation of AI in the Legal Industry Artificial Intelligence, and in particular Generative AI tools, continue to grow in popularity and are already having a significant impact in the legal industry. As use of AI becomes more prevalent, it is critical for municipal attorneys to understand the risks and rewards of using these technologies in the workplace. In this session, attendees will learn about navigating the competitive advantages of responsible AI in their legal strategy, eliminating bias, and what solution providers are doing to create responsible technologies. The presenter will also examine recent legislation and regulatory responses relevant to AI and what is on the horizon for the coming years. As a result of attending this session, participants will have a better understanding of the following: Differences between extractive and generative AI; how to avoid pitfalls and security risks posed by generative AI; necessary elements of responsible AI technologies for legal professionals; impact of recent judicial, legislative and regulatory responses to AI; and advantages of using AI technology. **looking for 1-2 speakers If you are interested and willing to present, please email me directly with your bio and headshot by June 19th.
