IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CPT Group, Inc., a leading provider of class action settlement administration services, is pleased to announce its upcoming Continuing Legal Education (CLE) webinar, Beyond the Hype: Ethical AI Adoption in Class Action Practice, taking place virtually on November 23, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The complimentary, one-hour program will bring together prominent legal and technology professionals to explore the evolving role of artificial intelligence in class action litigation and the ethical considerations surrounding its adoption.

As artificial intelligence continues to transform the legal industry, law firms and legal service providers are increasingly evaluating how emerging technologies can improve efficiency, streamline workflows, and enhance legal operations. While these advancements present significant opportunities, they also introduce important questions regarding professional responsibility, accuracy, confidentiality, and data security.

Recognizing the growing importance of these issues, CPT Group is bringing together an accomplished panel of professionals with extensive experience in class action litigation, legal technology, and dispute resolution to examine the practical applications, potential risks, and ethical responsibilities associated with AI integration.

A Distinguished Panel of Legal and Technology Professionals

The webinar will feature five industry professionals representing perspectives across class action litigation, settlement administration, legal technology, and alternative dispute resolution:

• Viola Trebicka – Partner, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP
• Julie Green – President, CPT Group, Inc.
• John Yanchunis – Class Action Practice Leader, Morgan & Morgan
• Trevor Jones – Chief Technology Officer, CPT Group, Inc.
• Lance Harke – Mediator and Arbitrator, Upchurch Watson White & Max

Together, the panelists will examine how artificial intelligence is influencing legal practice, offering insight into the opportunities and challenges of integrating emerging technologies into established legal workflows.

Exploring the Ethical and Practical Implications of AI

The program will address four critical areas of responsible AI adoption.

1. AI Ethics and Professional Responsibility: An examination of how AI technologies intersect with attorneys’ professional obligations, including competence, supervision, candor, and confidentiality. The discussion will emphasize the importance of human oversight and independent professional judgment when using AI-assisted tools.
2. AI Accuracy and Reliability: An exploration of the limitations of AI-generated information, including the risks of inaccurate or fabricated outputs. Panelists will discuss the importance of verifying AI-assisted research, implementing safeguards, and maintaining the reliability of information used in legal proceedings.
3. Data Privacy and Security: A discussion of the confidentiality and security considerations associated with AI implementation, particularly when managing sensitive client information, litigation materials, and class member data.
4. AI Technology and Practical Applications: An overview of the distinctions between generative AI and traditional automation, highlighting potential applications in legal research, document review, litigation support, and administrative processes while emphasizing responsible implementation.
