Penn Carey Law AI Project  /  Events

Events

Project-organized events — courses, talks, panels, and workshops — past and upcoming.

The Project runs events for several audiences: 1Ls coming into the law school, faculty experimenting with AI in the classroom, judges and clerks participating in the Judiciary Testbed, and the broader Penn community. The events below trace the Project’s public-facing programming since it was founded in 2023.
