The Kennedy-Mighell Report

CLE sessions featuring “60 Tips in 60 Minutes” have long been a conference staple, but has this format outlived its usefulness? Sometimes they’re great fun, sometimes too-slow presenters cheat you out of the full 60, sometimes you get some info gems, and sometimes you get nebulous snippets. So, is there still enough value there? Well, as you lawyers love to say—it depends. Dennis and Tom debate the pros and cons of these rapid-fire presentations and talk through what could bring new and greater worth to these sessions. 

Later, the guys answer a listener question on agentic AI. They hash out the ethics, security, and risk factors associated with these AI tools to take a hard look at both their helpful and potentially harmful elements.

As always, stay tuned for the parting shots, that one tip, website, or observation that you can use the second the podcast ends.
